    What are most insulting and offensive words in your language?

    Here are those ones in Armenian and in Russian:

    Armenian - "Մերդ քունեմ" ( Merd kunem)

    Russian - "Ёб твою мать" (Yob tvoyu mat')

    And to my mind Russian "Ёб твою мать" is more insulting and offensive than Armenian "Merd kunem" cos Armenian words just say "I wish I f*ck your mother", but Russian words say: "I have already f*cked your mother".

    And btw I absolutely don't understand English words: Motherf*cker.
    What does it mean?? In theory it means a person who f*ck some mother. But who is that person?? Who's mother he f*ck?? Complete confusion!!

    Similarly to Spanish, calling someone a "son of a bitch" in Brazil is a rather heavy way to insult them, it has a much more negative connotation than in English. We say it as "Filho(a) da puta!"

    In English the most offensive word is probably "cunt."

    Another good one in Portuguese is: "Vai tomar no cu!" = Go fuck yourself or go get your arse fucked!

    It shows we live in a sexist society when the most offensive word is a synonym for vagina.
