What’s your favourite swear word?

And least favourite?

My favourite is “bollocks”. I overuse it though. For every tiny mistake / dropping / forgetting incident. It rolls around the mouth beautifully Grin

Not too keen on “bitch” because of context of use.

What’s yours?

Fuckity fuckballs
Cunting hell fire

Both under my breath because of small child now though.

Tinylittlecabbages · 24/12/2021 10:54

Fuck

I mean there are some great contenders but Fuck really is the best

Ostryga · 24/12/2021 10:55

Cunt is my favourite.

Jesus fucking christ is my most used sweary phrase.

ShinySquirrel · 24/12/2021 11:00

Fuck. You can't beat a classic.

Shite is underrated. Love me a good shite.

Mojoj · 24/12/2021 11:00

Anything which includes fuck😀

Margaritawithlime · 24/12/2021 11:02

I say bloody a lot. 5yo has also used it so trying to curb that one.
Think my fave is bastard. Said in very northern tones.

ThisIsNotARealAvo · 24/12/2021 11:03

Ballsacks is current fave
Also love bellend

Go to exasperation cry is bugger or buggerybollocks.

I have a range of non swear alternatives when I am in the company of strangers: Jings, blast, dammit, etc

The area I hail from has extensive use of cunt. It’s not even an insult - being a funnycunt can mean you are a comedian or a strange fish. Grumpycunt is a standard description for many but avoid the fuckingcunts- they’re nasty.

GoodnightGrandma · 24/12/2021 11:11

Fuck and fuck-wit.
I love a good swear, really eases the tension !

Shite is a lovely Scottish word and again not always an insult. Many children are cheeky wee shites - said with a loving proud smile or an angry scowling grimace depending on the circumstances.

I particularly like “ach away an shite” if you think someone is spinning you a yarn or exaggerating somewhat

Your post reminded me of my Dad whenever he burn himself on the oven (it happened on a weekly basis), he would shout damn, blast bugger and sod it stupid shitty thing 😂🤣.
shash1982 · 24/12/2021 11:24

Twat!

If feels so satisfying to say!

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 24/12/2021 11:25

When dropping or things just generally going wrong "BuggerBollocksWankShitArse" must be said fast without spaces for maximum effect. I picked it up from my Dad, DH uses it now too.

SameToo · 24/12/2021 11:27

Fuck or twat. Lovely words to say.

Despise bitch.

uhohspaghettiohh · 24/12/2021 11:47

Love 'fuck'.

Don't say it a lot though due to the kids, DS would absolutely start saying it if he heard me.

I called someone a 'stupid woman' in the car the other day, he then called someone it on another journey 😅

I also love 'twat', 'wanker' & 'motherfucker'.

Kenneldogsrock · 24/12/2021 11:51

Fuck and twat.

I hate cunt but not sure why!

thistimelastweek · 24/12/2021 11:51

Fuck (and all derivations) by a fucking country mile.

WhereYouLeftIt · 24/12/2021 11:52

Being asked for my favourite swear word is a bit like being asked for my favourite child (I am a bit sweary)Grin.

Probably 'buggeration'. Closely followed by 'fuck'.

metalmutha · 24/12/2021 11:55

Fuck is extremely versatile and lends itself to so many situations but I also like nob 'ed, bell end and cock womble.

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 24/12/2021 11:58

For fucks sake.

So satisfying to say, even works when you say it under your breath

duvetdrama · 24/12/2021 11:59

I don't swear that much but my fave would be bugger/bugger off/little bugger Grin

NewBeta · 24/12/2021 12:02

Fuckwit

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 24/12/2021 12:06

🧚 I'm a little fairy and I don't swear, 🧚
💩 Shit, Bugger, Arsehole, I don't care. 💩

Justcashnosweets · 24/12/2021 12:13

Bellend.

Justcashnosweets · 24/12/2021 12:15

Posted too soon! Cunt is my all time favorite though, but I never say it in the house as I would hate DD hear me say it. Not that she would know what it was! I don't think I have a least favorite!
