Foreign Cuss Word | comment |
The use of foreign curses that, in their country of origin, would be considered much more offensive to use on television or outright censored. Sometimes the pronunciation is deliberately mangled to obscure it even more. Compare Pardon My Klingon, Insulting from Behind the Language Barrier, Unusual Euphemism, Did Not Do the Bloody Research, and Foreign-Language Tirade. Sometimes an adjunct of Poirot Speak. Often a way of Getting Crap Past the Radar. |

Upon discovering that Sara was Made a Slave in all but name by her former Boarding School, Mariette responds with a bunch of French words that, according to the narration, Sara can't directly translate but can easily guess the general meaning of. | |

A minced version in Small Medium with necromancer Vaffanculo. While his name is recognized by native Chase as swearing (or rather, she doesn't realize that Thomasi isn't swearing when calling for him), it's implied that out of universe, it was meant to get by the censors by sounding like a generic fantasy name. | |

Girls Next Door: "ESPECE DE PETIT SALOPERIE DE BORDEL D'EMPAFFE DE POULET PSYCOPATHE!!!" Translated? LITTLE FUCKING PSYCHOPATHIC PIECE OF CHICKEN SHIT!!! This is only one example, as Christine uses these more or less regularly, as does Javert and occasionally Erik. Less flowery things like "Merde" are trademark of the French characters in mother series Roommates too. |

Tuco shouts two similar Spanish curses in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. First, when being carried tied-up into town, he shouts out "¡Hijo de puta que te parió!" ("Son of the bitch who whelped you!"). Then, when Blondie abandons Tuco in the desert, Tuco yells the big one: "¡Hijo de una gran puta!" ("You son of a big whore!"). | |

Appears constantly in Polandball comics. There's not really a censoring board for them, but their use of non-English curses alternates between getting some fairly insensitve terms past the radar and for simple authenticity—it only makes sense to expect Polandball to use Polish vulgarities, Finlandball to use Finnish vulgarities, and so on. | |

Many televised airings of professional wrestling have the wrestlers get away with stuff in promos simply because it is in a foreign language, such as Homicide in TNA or Bullet Club in New Japan. The former even got this turned into an angle when it turned out Dixie Carter was unaware of the type of language he'd been using. However, the World Wrestling League bleeped out foreign cuss words on their program from the very start, even when not accompanied by subtitles. | |

The Simpsons: "Wanker" and "shite", which are considered quite rude in British English, are apparently exotic enough that they can be used without anyone batting an eye. The German version of the enraged cook's cry against Homer in Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner includes Italian swearing. And not just a random swearing, but one that will get you instantly banned from any show on Italian TV, as actors and local Big Brother contestants found out at their own expenses. Despite it being one of the most common utterances in Real Life Italy.note Hint: The word used was a bestemmia (blasphemy). |

Subverted in the 1948 film I Remember Mama. Little cousin Arne, the son of Aunt Sigrid, is in the hospital after surgery for a fractured kneecap. When Uncle Chris comes in to visit, he teaches Arne what he says is a Norwegian swear word: "dumme gjet." (His explanation is that the swearing helps ease the pain. Off the back of some recent research, that's Truth in Television.) When a shocked nurse upbraids him for teaching a kid to swear, he informs her that "dumme gjet" actually means "stupid old goat." | |

The Fifth Elephant has an In-Universe example with the Dwarfish slur "Ha'ak". An exact translation is not given, but it seems to be an extremely offensive word for openly female dwarfs. Case in point, when a dwarf says the word to Cheeri Littlebottom, Sergeant Detritus points the Piecemaker at the offender and declares that he does not want to hear that word again. | |

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: When Miguel phrases his order to apprehend Miles as "stop Spider-Man", it results in every Spider-Man present pointing at each other in confusion. Miguel mutters "ay, coño." (literally meaning "oh, cunt", but in this context being along the lines of "oh, dammit" or "oh, for fuck's sake") before clarifying his orders. | |

In Chio's School Road, Chio gets a message from an English-speaking opponent in a video game. Turns out it's the C-word. She doesn't know what it means, and has to run it through a translator before going ballistic. Oddly, both the original word and the translation are shown on screen, sort of defeating the purpose. | |

Young Frankenstein. "He would have an enormous schwanzstucker!" "Schwanzstueck", literally means "tailpiece" in German and doesn't mean anything itself; "Schwanz" on its own is a slang term meaning "penis," similar to "dick." | |

In Cutie Honey: THE LIVE, the character Duke Watari is noticeably fond of screaming out "SHIT!" whenever he gets upset about something. Similarly in Soul Eater Free sometimes yells "GODDAMN SHIT" after messing up. Swing Girls has a cute high school girl shouting "Shit!" as she misses her stop on the subway. In subtitled anime, the Japanese word for 'shit' (kuso) is often translated as 'damn' for American audiences because of the similar usage. |

Neon Genesis Evangelion fanfic writers love to make Asuka swear in German: In A Crown of Stars — for example, after an argument with her ex-teammate: In Advice and Trust — for example, in chapter 6, when she is unfairly detained and put in solitary confinement, to which she expresses her displeasure very, very loudly: In The Child of Love, at the end of the first chapter –- and at other times — Asuka exclaims "Scheisse!" ("Shit!"). In Children of an Elder God, Asuka resorts to swearing in her native tongue when she gets angry: In episode 4, an Angel rips off her robot's hand (and Asuka feels it as if it was her own hand). Her answer? In an omake, an Asuka action figure says "Gott in Himmel!" if you squeeze her chest. In Evangelion 303, Asuka uses them every so often. "Scheisse" is a popular one, although she used a variant in chapter 3 ("Heilige Scheisse"). In HERZ, Asuka swears in German a lot. "Scheisse" is fairly often used. In The One I Love Is..., Asuka and Rei are having a very heated argument, and at one point Asuka yells: "Du... du Hure!" In Neon Metathesis Evangelion: Gottverdammt, Verfickt, Arschloch, zur Hölle, and everything else. |

Discworld: A character from Far Ãœberwald (Discworld's "Slavonic" countries) shrieks Bodrozvachski zhaltziet! at a time of great stress. Terry invented this as a piece of pseudo-Slokian which means nothing in any known Slavonic language, but which conveys all the sulphurous intensity of real Polish or Russian swearing. In fact, the Czech translator of his books left the cod-Slavonic in place, but went so far as to make the character voicing this oath into an explicit Russian, adding the explanatory footnote that cultured Czech readers would instantly know that only one race on this planet swears like that. Rincewind the Lovable Coward... er, Wizzard, is known to have a command of Latatian (Latin to us Roundworlders), and once when urged to come up with a battle cry, used "Stercus, Stercus, Stercus, Morituri Sum", or "Shit, shit, shit, I'm gonna die." The Fifth Elephant has an In-Universe example with the Dwarfish slur "Ha'ak". An exact translation is not given, but it seems to be an extremely offensive word for openly female dwarfs. Case in point, when a dwarf says the word to Cheeri Littlebottom, Sergeant Detritus points the Piecemaker at the offender and declares that he does not want to hear that word again. |

Used frequently in the Grand Theft Auto games which feature communities foreign to America: they (mostly Hispanic) swear in their home language (it's easier to hear whenever you cause a traffic accident), but other languages are not exempt (Portuguese-speaking players are guaranteed to get a laugh in IV when they hear a driver — very rare thoughnote The Portuguese community in Liberty City is located in Alderney, which is not unlocked until halfway into the game — yelling "vai tomar no cu, filho da puta!", which means "get fucked in the ass, son of a bitch!"). | |

On My Name Is Earl, Earl persuades Catalina to visit Joy in the Camden County Jail. The two women quickly get to trash-talking each others' appearances. Catalina remarks on the scar on Joy's belly, thinking it's a C-section scar. Joy tells Catalina it's not a C-section scar, it's where her prom date stabbed her which he was paid to do by Liberty, Joy's half-sister and lifelong rival, and that she birthed both of her children naturally. Catalina replies, "Then I guess your gatito is as saggy as your breasts!" On the other hand: In two episodes, Catalina flings a tirade at Joy, seemingly cussing her out in Spanish, but really thanking bilingual viewers for watching. |

In The Secret of Roan Inish, Grandfather tells Fiona the story of his great-grandfather, Sean Michael, which is depicted on screen. At one point, the schoolmaster publicly humiliates Sean Michael for speaking Irish in school, so Sean Michael attacks him while screaming at him in Irish. The viewer never learns what exactly he said (and unlike some examples of this trope, it's not something most viewers would recognize), but judging by Grandmother's reaction, it wasn't something Grandfather should have been repeating in front of a child. | |

In Black Lagoon, Revy is a total Cluster F-Bomb, despite not being bilingual — she just thinks the English "fuck" sounds cool. She tends to say it more when she's upset than when she's actually trying to curse (those tend to be onomatopeiae). | |

Coach Steve from Big Mouth apparently gets called pendejo (a strong Spanish swear word) by the staff at a sports bar in Queens where he "bartends" (actually he just hangs behind the bar, despite management constantly telling him to leave). He thinks it's just a cool nickname, and he actually calls himself "DJ Pendejo" when he deejays at a party a few episodes later. | |

One episode of Stargate SG-1 features a very surprised Russian soldier saying "Bozhe moi," which is (inaccurately) translated by the DVD closed captioning— not the subtitles— as "Holy shit." SG-1 is notable for being a show that wasn't afraid to take advantage of its cable heritage and let a "shit" hit the fans now and again. For reference, the actual translation is "My God." Same basic exclamation as in English. In Stargate Atlantis, Dr. Radek Zelenka is played by David Nykl, a Czech Canadian who speaks fluent Czech. (The character was originally supposed to be Russian, but when Nykl auditioned and told the creators he could speak Czech, they quickly changed the character's background to match the actor's, more or less.) Word of God says only about half of Zelenka's Czech lines are scripted, and Czech fans have confirmed that not only is there a lot of uncensored swearing, he sometimes breaks the fourth wall. |

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice combines this with Pardon My Klingon. The language of the fictional Asian country, The Kingdom of Khura'in, has a word "Pohlkunan". According to Maya, it's used to refer to people who are "a real piece of work, so to speak". It's used constantly throughout the game, including the entire Khura'inese courtroom gallery chanting it at Phoenix. | |

This actually happens a lot in the Netherlands, where people love to over-use English swear words. They aren't considered as bad as they would be in English. For example, part of "Uncle Fucka" from the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut was once shown, uncensored, on the evening news during an item about bleeping out swear words on United States television. A reference in this Dutch ad (NSFW language). It's pretty common for the Dutch to understand English swearing, but find it quaint and amusing rather than offensive. And conversely, literally translated Dutch swearing can be amusing to native English speakers; you get why it's offensive, but it's so out of left field that the amusement outweighs the offense. For example, one Dutch insult translates as "cancer monkey". |

Star Trek: Captain Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation has let slip a "merde" at least twice, in "The Last Outpost" and "Elementary, Dear Data." He also swore up a storm in Klingon in one episode. Even the visiting Klingon passenger was impressed (swearing being something of a respected art-form among Klingons). Star Trek: Voyager: In "Scorpion", the holographic Leonardo da Vinci says "Che chazzo", which translates to "What the fuck?" in Italian. On Star Trek: Picard, Captain Rios tends to curse in Spanish, saying things like "malparido" (bastard) and "puta madre" (son of a bitch). |

In the 2005 game The Warriors (based, of course, on the 1970s cult classic film), while the New York "tough-guy" characters cuss a blue streak anyway (just as in the movie), there is also some untranslated Spanish when the characters take a side trip to Spanish Harlem, and some of the Puerto Rican expressions would be even more offensive than what is normally heard in the game were they to be rendered in English. Two examples are "Me cago in tus madres" ("I shit on your mothers") and "puto" (used repeatedly, and a very offensive name to call any male, since its connotation is somewhere between "bitch" and "faggot.") NoteIt literally means male prostitute. That being said, the word's so offensive you'll probably prefer to use synonyms when discussing male prostitution in Spanish (such as 'prostituto' or 'chapero'). | |

Colossus from the X-Men would sometimes swear in Russian in his early appearances. The word would even be written in Cyrillic characters to obscure it further. His favorite was "chyort vozmee...!", a relatively mild "the Devil take...!" Nightcrawler would similarly sometimes shout "zum Teufel!" ("to the Devil!"), but often with hilarious misspellings. | |

Hetalia: Axis Powers is about Nations as People, who sometimes get frustrated in their native languages. It's even more prominent in the dub than in the original Japanese. Early in the series, Italy is sent back to Germany in a box with "Fuck" written on it. The ones who sent him in that box were America and England. Romano (South Italy) has thrown out an occasional "Che palle!" The first line of The Movie is Iceland saying "Oh skÃt" |

Leverage In the pilot, Sophie calls Nate a "wanker" when he shoots her after she shot him when he tried to arrest her. Not a problem on American TV, but not a word that can be broadcast on British television before the watershed. The literal meaning is "someone who masturbates", although it's more generally used in Britain to mean a stupid or unpleasant man. In "The Two Live Crew Job" the Israeli muscle for the opposing team throws out a quick "Kus shel ha ima shelha" at the team leader. Generally used as a "Fuck you" equivalent in Israel, the literal translation is "Your mothers cunt". |

Kizuna Ai: Kizuna will sometimes start swearing in English, usually "Oh my god!" or similar, during games. Usually it's played for laughs due to the dissonance between such language and her usual demeanor as The Cutie. Perhaps her most famous moment was a Cluster F-Bomb when playing Resident Evil 7, which became a big meme among her fans: | |

Soul Series: In Soul Calibur II, Yoshimitsu says a few Japanese curse words, which are also used in the original Japanese version... Only when directly translated, however. Due to Japan's lack of common curse words, it's just as take in Japan. In V, when Ezio fails a throw, he sometimes mutters "Cazzo" (basic Italian swearword, literally meaning "dick"). |

In the Get Smart film, the Russian farmer who goes to check on who crashed into his barn is swearing pretty profusely. In fact, most of the Russian phrases were ad-libbed by the actors. On the other hand, the farmer couple who sees Max and 99 in a Ferrari do not say "holy shit", as the subtitles suggest but merely blin (literally "pancake"; as a cuss word, close to "darn"), which is pretty mild. | |

In Assassin's Creed II, Ezio curses off the final boss, Pope Rodrigo Borgia, using an Italian phrase translating to "Go fuck yourself." In Assassin's Creed Origins, Bayek and others, who are prone to Ancient Egyptian Poirot Speak anyway, frequently refer to people as neket iadet. The subtitles helpfully inform you that it translates to "piece of shit". |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a joke about an award being given for the "Most Gratuitous Use of the Word "Fuck" in a Serious Screenplay". For the book version, though, the censors didn't want such an explicit "fuck", so Douglas Adams changed it to the nonsensical "Belgium", which is now the single most offensive word in the Universe — allowing him to throw another jab at Earth for being so ignorant that it named a country after it. | |

In The Matrix Reloaded, The Merovingian likes to swear in French, claiming "It's like wiping your ass with silk." What he says to demonstrate this is "Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d'enculé de ta mère", which literally translates to "name of God of the whore of the whorehouse of shit of sluttery of an idiot of (someone receiving anal) of your mother", which might be Woolseyised to something like holy damned bullshity fucking motherfucking shitting son of a bitch. French allows you to just tack on curse word after curse word with no real grammar involved — it works particularly well for French Canadian swearing. | |

An episode of the words-and-numbers game Countdown saw a contestant assembling a seven-letter word out of an unpromising letter selection. The word spelt voetsak was accepted by adjudicator Suzie Dent, who explained it's a loan-word from Afrikaans which has entered South African English[note and therefore the Oxford English dictionary and means, roughly, something like "Go Away!" or "Buzz off!". Viewers pointed out she was perfectly correct, the phrase almost means "Go Away!" or "Buzz off!". | |

British curses abound in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Giles often uses obscure British slang terms, whose true meanings few Americans would know, but which generally sound like insults in context. Some of these have highly vulgar origins; for instance, Giles uses "berk" as an insult, which comes from the Cockney rhyming slang "Berkshire Hunt". Spike often used less-than-polite British slang, including the memorable "We band of buggered" (parodying the St. Crispin's Day speech "we band of brothers") as well as frequent "bloody"s and "sod off"s. A shot of him giving the two-fingered British "up yours" gesture in one episode actually ended up as part of the Title Montage in later seasons. |

In Stargate Atlantis, Dr. Radek Zelenka is played by David Nykl, a Czech Canadian who speaks fluent Czech. (The character was originally supposed to be Russian, but when Nykl auditioned and told the creators he could speak Czech, they quickly changed the character's background to match the actor's, more or less.) Word of God says only about half of Zelenka's Czech lines are scripted, and Czech fans have confirmed that not only is there a lot of uncensored swearing, he sometimes breaks the fourth wall. | |

Firefly has extensive (and generally mispronounced) swearing in Mandarin. One wonders if the surreal effect this must have on native speakers of Mandarin is responsible for the show being completely unheard of there. Whoever wrote the DVD subtitles didn't even recognize it as Mandarin: anything more than a few words is rendered as [SPEAKS GALACTIC LANGUAGE]. The novelization for the film actually translates the swears in footnotes. |

Interesting case in Tales of the Abyss: Asch often calls Luke "dreck" as a placeholder title and insult. The word is indeed uncommon, but not completely unheard of in North American English and it was likely brought over from the German language where it carries the meaning of "trash" or "inferior goods", hence Asch's usage of the phrase. However, the original Yiddish version of the word, predating the German use, is much stronger and harsher. | |

Burn Notice: In "Old Friends", Michael says something in Czech to a Czech assassin sent to kill him after punching the guy in the throat. The subtitles translate it as "WELCOME TO MIAMI ASS***". One of the series' minor running gags is the fact that despite being born and raised in Miami, Michael doesn't speak Spanish. Twice in "Enemies Closer" he has to have text messages in Spanish from a dead Latin gangster's phone translated for him, resulting in first Larry, then Fiona telling him, "He called him a pendejo. That's like 'idiot' but ruder." |

Captain Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation has let slip a "merde" at least twice, in "The Last Outpost" and "Elementary, Dear Data." He also swore up a storm in Klingon in one episode. Even the visiting Klingon passenger was impressed (swearing being something of a respected art-form among Klingons). | |
