1. Busu

This is a word used to describe an ugly person in Japanese. However, you could trick anyone into thinking that you're cursing at them by yelling this at them. The pronunciation of it is just as satisfying as saying the "F" word.

Busu is a Japanese word used to describe an ugly person. It is often used as a derogatory term, but it can also be used in a humorous way. The pronunciation of the word is similar to the English word "F" and it can be used to trick someone into thinking that you are cursing at them.

The term has become popular in recent years, especially amongst young people. It is often used in online conversations, as well as in everyday speech. It is also used in popular culture, such as in anime and manga.

The origins of the word are unclear, but it is believed to have originated in the Edo period of Japan (1603-1868). It is thought to have been derived from the Japanese phrase "busu ni narimasu", which means "to become ugly".

The word busu is also used in other contexts, such as in the phrase "busu ni naru", which means "to become stupid". It is also commonly used in the phrase "busu na hito", which means "an ugly person".

2. Mishugena

This word means "freak" in Hebrew. It's a pretty tame insult, so even if someone is able to translate it, they won't end up all that mad at you. It should roll right off their back.

***

Mishugena is a Hebrew word that means "freak" and is a relatively mild insult. It is often used to describe someone who is considered to be strange or unusual. While it is not as strong as some other swear words, it is still considered impolite and should be used with caution.

In the Hebrew language, there are many words that are used to express emotions or to describe people. Mishugena is one of those words and is often used in a humorous way to describe someone who is a bit strange. It can also be used in a more serious way to describe someone who is considered to be an outsider or who does not fit in with the mainstream.

The word Mishugena can be used in a variety of contexts. It can be used to describe someone who has an unusual style, someone who is considered to be a bit of an oddball, or someone who is just a bit different from the norm. It can also be used to describe someone who is considered to be a bit of a misfit.

3. Beshoor

This means "no-brained" in Persian. So the next time one of your friends says something unbelievably naive, you can call them this word. When they ask you what it means, you shouldn't be surprised, because there's no way a no-brained person would know it.

4. Klam

This word means "ugly" in Danish. Of course, you don't have to stick to using it in order to describe a person's looks. If someone you meet has an ugly personality, feel free to use this word to describe them.

Sunshine and blue skies bring positivity and joy and it's important for every woman to take full advantage of it. Even when stuck indoors, it's still possible to enjoy some good vibes. Check out these unique tips on how to make the most of the weather right at your home. Let's celebrate every beautiful day, no matter where we are.

5. Sakra

This means "damn" in Czech. It's about as close as any of these words come to actual curses. So the next time that you're annoyed about losing a level on a video game, you can simple say "sakra" in order to voice your frustrations.

6. Meretrix

This word means "prostitute" in Latin. So if you're unhappy with another lady who's trying to steal your man, you can use this to describe her. Of course, if you end up passing by a sketchy street corner, you can use this word literally.

7. Inutil

This word means "worthless moron" in the Philipines. It's a great term to use if your coworkers fail at helping you ring up customers. If they can't do a simple task, then they deserve to be called "inutil."

8. Payaso

This word means "clown" in Spanish. However, since there are a lot of bilingual people out there that know how to speak the language, you should be careful about whom you use this on. Of course, there are much more intense Spanish words you could've used on them, so they might give you a break.

9. Drecksau

This word means "dirty pig" in German. It's the perfect insult, because you can use it in virtually any situation. Whether your little sister is running around with a dirty diaper or your older brother is sexting three girls at once, you can use this word to describe them.

If you want to feel more sophisticated and educated than your peers, then you should use these words whenever the opportunity presents itself. The fact that the other person won't know what you're actually saying will bother them more than any actual English curse word ever could. What other foreign words would make good replacements for curses? Remember to keep it as clean as you can!

If you don't use curse words why did you even click on this post? You knew what you were getting into. You saw in plain text what this was going to be about. It's your own fault. Don't like the FUCKING post? Don't FUCKING read the got-DAMN thing.

Cool post but I wish that you could have broken down the pronunciation so we don't sound like idiots while saying that someone else is an idiot

Love that there is a Czech word ❤

Basza is the F-word in Hungarian. I use that one a lot because of the priceless reaction I get from people.
