"How do I swear in foreign languages?"

In compiling the links for the previous entry, I came across this site. Of course, it changes from an insult into a Monty Python routine if you don't even have the accent (as in emphasis, not to mention the other accent) right. Their Russian page doesn't indicate which syllable receives the emphasis, but, just FYI, "govno" is pronounced "gahv NOH" and, unlike in English, the "oh" sound isn't finished with a "w" sound. (I.e., if you can morph "blow" into "blowah," remember to just pronounce the "blo" and not the "wah".) However, they don't list "nekulturniy"/"nyekulturniy" which is a pretty effective insult, and more insulting than calling someone "uncultured" in English. "knee cool TOUR knee"

The Russian thing is bogus. The Russians have a compete secret obscene language called the "Mat". Trust me, there are lots things worse than being called uncultured.
