Samantha Bee Apologizes for Use of the "C" word...

They'll have to adopt Cape Colored swear phrases.

"Jous ma se poes" (your mom's pussy) is used often. Among friends it's no worse than saying "you daft cunt" to a mate. But I wouldn't say it to a stranger.

What little Afrikaans I know I learned from my mate Ronwyn. When I first got to Cape Town I was smitten by this little waitress, and asked Ronwyn how to say "How are you this morning?" to her in Afrikaans. He said "Ik vil jou naii" Which actually means "I want to fuck you". Thanks, Ron, jou poes.

You can add other adjectives to it. Jou ma se blut poes (bloody pussy), Jou ma se blut stank poes (bloody, smelly), blut, stank, etter (bloody smelly pus filled). One time Ron was fresh out of insults so he said "Jou ma se plutonium poes". Then there's jou pa se slap pil, your fathers limp dick.

Euphemism?

I used to rent a place to a young lady French teacher. (from France)

I asked her once, what is a really really bad swearword in French.

She thought for a second, and then said, "the worst thing you could say to a French woman is "tu scentes les moules" (or something close). And then she said, panicking, "but you must never ever say it !!!"

It literally means "you smell of mussels".

Of course, by that evening, we weren't just saying it, we were singing it. I had put it to music, to the tune of "Chanson D'amour".

well, likening a lady's scent to the sea or sealife is a dire insult to her personal hygiene
