or “to poop.”

11. Piss
Origin: Middle English,
from Old French "pisser,"
probably of imitative
origin.

12. Piss
The Old French "pisser" seems to refer
not to urine itself, but to that which
dispels the urine. It essentially
means "one who pisses" or "that which
pisses," meaning it can refer to either
a person or a certain male
appendage.

13. Piss as

14. Piss as a Verb

16. Ass
Origin: Variant of "arse." Old
English "ærs," of Germanic origin;
related to Dutch "aars" and
German "arsch."
Depending on where you live, "ass" or "arse" may
be the more common variant of this word.

17. Ass
A donkey is also known as an "ass" after its
Latin subgenus name, "Asinus," and "ass" is
often used as an insult, essentially meaning
"a stupid or foolish person."
This is completely separate
from its bum-related
meaning.

18. Ass
A donkey is also known as an "ass" after its Latin
subgenus name, "Asinus," and "ass" is often used as an
insult essentially meaning "a stupid or foolish
person." This is completely separate from its

"hell," of Germanic origin;
related to Dutch "hel" and
German "Hölle," from an
Indo-European
root meaning
"to cover or hide."
Hell

22. Hell
Though the details are highly debated by
theologians and internet trolls alike,
the basic meaning of "Hell" in the
Christian faith is a place or state of
eternal suffering and separation from
God. As a swear word, however, "hell"
has many more meanings.

23. Hell as a Noun
GotoHell!
Hell

24. Hell as a Noun (Informal)

26. Damn
Origin: Middle English, from Old
French "dam(p)ner," from Latin
"dam(p)nare," meaning "to inflict
loss on," from "damnum" ("loss,
damage").

27. Damn
If you're headed to Hell in a
handbasket, how do you get there? And
what are you once you're there? You're
damned, of course. You can understand
why damning someone to Hell—in other
words, wishing them to suffer great
pain and agony for the rest of eternity
—is a pretty insulting thing to say.

28. Damn as a Verb
Oh,damn
it!Damnit
toHell!

29. Damn,Iforgotmykeys.
Damn as an Interjection

30. Bitch
Origin: Old English "bicce," of
Germanic origin. The Old
English "bicce" comes from even
older root words that all
mean the same thing: a female
dog.

31. Bitch
The word "bitch" still does mean "female
dog," but it has also evolved as an
insulting term used to refer to an
unpleasant woman.
Now, it has a wide variety of meanings,
some of which actually have positive
connotations.

32. Bitch as a Noun

35. Fuck
Origin: Early 16th century, of
Germanic origin (compare with
Swedish dialect "focka" and
Dutch dialect "fokkelen");
possibly from an Indo-European
root meaning "strike," shared by
Latin "pungus," meaning "fist."
Disturb!
Do
Not

36. Fuck
In modern speech and writing, the word fuck is almost as
offensive as you can get. Of course, that doesn't stop most
people from using it creatively on a regular basis, but it
does keep this word contained to HBO dramas about medieval
warfare and albums labeled "Explicit." The word
"fuck" can be used in a number of colorful
ways, but its definition comes down to
the act of sexual intercourse.

37. Fuck as a Noun
Idon’tgiveafuck!

38. Fuck as a Verb
