Spanish Swear words that I have to know...
and this is important! I'm reading Las Batalles En El Desierto for Spanish 3, and I have an exam tomorrow (I've pretty much figured out some of the words). The book has loads and loads of swear words.

What are the most common swear words in spanish (like shit, fuck, etc) because Babelfish and my dictionary won't translate these!

If you can't help, what spanish "swear" dictionaries can help?

Sorry for being crass!

1. Here're some I learned way back when...
shit - mierdo
fuck (you) - culiarte
balls - cojones (juevos, "eggs" sometimes used as slang)

just a couple I picked up at Language Camp, sorry to not be of more help!

4. Can't help you in that area...
..but it's important to have an extensive inventory of foreign swear words.

7. Thanks so much!
That site helps quite a bit!

There's also Swearasaurus but it's really compilations of naughty sayings.

8. chinga tu madre...
or something like that.

I'm pretty sure I know what it means.

I'd like to see the translation in German.

10. Literally "fuck your mother"
Mexican spanish apparently does not have a direct translation for 'motherfucker.' (to the best of my limited knowledge.)
