Language control

I often swear in Italian… beautiful language for swearing!

A favourite is “pezzo di merda”, so much more emphatic than the same thing in French “pièce de merde”… when I’m really miffed, it’s “VA FUNGOOL!”

I guess I should learn some German swearing, given I’m approximately 50% German.

And odd that I lived in Greece as a child, spoke Greek reasonably well, but never really learned any Greek swearing till we came back to Australia and lived in colourful inner city suburbs chock full of European immigrants, and Greek kids would yell out “GAMISSOS!”.

Also : given I live in land of the Whadjuk Nyoongar traditional owners, I should try and make an effort to learn to swear in their language too…
