What’s interesting is foreign languages pretty universally have curse words! Human condition sucks everywhere and people have to have a way to express their feelings.

I read an article about the differences in meaning of cuss words in different languages. In English, one word has the meaning of having sex. In Russian, their similar word has the meaning of to hit (if I recall correctly).

On my list of things I would like to find out more about but probably never will!
