You kidding? With the Hebrew root system, Hebrew is tailor-made for curse words. It chose to borrow its curses from Arabic, Russian and English simply because it had no native curse words in Ben-Yehuda's time.

It picked up Russian curses from immigrants, Arab curses from Arabs, and English curses from the Brits and American tv.

Went to college with a guy from Gaza called, "Mac" (Mahkram). First English words he taught himself were swear words.

Often, his conversations in English were unintelligible, and some of his cussing combinations were hilarious -- but there was no doubt about when the guy was P.O.'d! (LOL!!)

Did you ever think to ask yourself how did Jews cuss each other during, say, King David's time? Simply by grafting Chaldean, Aramean, Canaanite and Philistine words.

One good thing the Tower of Babel was good for: wide variety of cuss words.
