I love how "fuck" is the the only word censored when it's literally a map of swear words

English speaking countries are among the few obsessed with censoring swear words, but yeah, it's ridiculous, isn't it.
I know. It's so fucking stupid!
Is it the Americans making images where the word "fuck" is censored or does the prudeness span the anglosphere in general?
The Brits also have strokes if swear words aren't censored, but I'm willing to bet the Aussies have a more relaxed attitude?
Well, yeah, but they're all cunts ;)
What's the colours about?
Black means promiscuous woman
Blue means defecation
Pink - sexual act
Green - cursing
Yellow - disease
- Joder (Spain) - verb, to fuck
- Porra (Portugal) - semen
- Putain (France, Belgium) - whore
So this checks out
I'll count it as Duolingo lesson for today
Immediately way more interesting
I think the same colors are the same-ish word across languages.
So pink is "fuck", black is "whore", blue is "shit". What does green and yellow represent?
"fan" literally means "the devil" though no one thinks about that when using it as a curse normally.
I'm Dutch, yellow is disease. In this case cancer.
I thought Finland's was perkele.
Vittu is much shorter and more versatile. Easier to use several times in a sentence.
I see others that are wrong as well and there's no source so I call bullshit on its accuracy
A friend of mine gave a Mexican woman a lesson in Norwegian swear words after she rear-ended our car outside Vegas. I think she was impressed.
Love how these maps usually just have some random shit for Slovenia. This one even misspells prekleto.
Hungarian writes it : kurva from the verb: kúr (fuck)
I'm kinda disappointed. I always thought "kurwa" is exclusively our Polish thing.
Even some german people start using it. You cannot go arround making 80% of your language one word and then expect that no one will pick it up.
Well it does have protoslavic origins and is the same in south slavic languages just spelled kurba.
Source? Yer ma's gee.
This has triggered my curiosity, now I want the map for the whole planet for each land's most curse word used
