The range of invective is far richer than that. American terms of abuse are far more limited.
Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?

When in doubt about swearing look to the british. Cunt and bugger.

Since when is cunt not a swearword you fucking donut

um. he did not ask for something that was not a swear. He finds fuck and shit to be to boring to use. He wants a non slur. Granted you can reach and say cunt being female anatomy is a femal slur but given I hear it more used for men. eh. also maybe you can related bugger to gay but its a stretch to.

Ah my bad, I thought slur and swear are synonymous for some reason, I stand corrected.
Though I would argue both dick and cunt are kinda slurs as they imply negative things about a specific gendered thing, at least that’s how I feel about them.
Weirdly I don’t feel the same way about the word for bunch of sticks and the one that rhymes with regarded
Because for me they have a specific meaning that is completely irrelevant to what they mean originally.

That one was so common in normal 2000’s conversation I am still trying to break the habit of saying it. If anyone has replacements, I’m open to suggestions.

Yeah I think part of it is they don’t belong as swears for your last two but they were turned into depilatories. Its a bit like some folks at things I have been to get negative about the YMCA song and im like don’t be like that. That man is loud and proud and supporting us with the national anthem of his people. If he could join us in costume Im sure he would. Celebrate the freedom found in the YMCA.
