Such a grad student topic. I came to know of a guy who was doing research on "swear words used during medieval times". From the face of it it looks like some fraud research topic but to think of it it's a very difficult topic. How do you get all such data..certainly there is no literature on it..He actaully went through the court proceedings (yes!! court proceedings of times 700-800 years early exist in some european countries thanks to no natural disasters..) for them..He went through documents with no grammar or standard spelling which is very painfull...
Oh yes!! I know you guys want to know the conclusion..So one of the most offensive used swear words were "GOD's dick"..and people had been hanged for uttering these words..
This guy happens to be the brother of one of the profs in my lab. And after he told this we had a long discussion on how every culture has its swear words some of which dont make any sense at all when translated..for eg. choot ke pakode and jhant ke pasine..On hearing jhant ke pasine..the prof goes like "thats interesting..pubic hair is such an insignificant thing and so is sweat..why would you guys even use this!!"..
The post doc in my lab told abt how dutch people just say some words with the swear words just to have rhyming effect :). So guys we are not alone who come of with innovative things such as -
behen ke ghode ..
choot pakode...
maar ja laude..
Any ways I feel rather than the words it's the situation when you use it has impact upon the guy on receiving end..
ps: Yaar bahut din se kuch nahin likha tha aur kuch chamak nahin raha tha so this ..would come up with better topics next time..:)

OK..I will ask the prof to talk to his bro about this..
haven't u heard of 'bur ke burade' ?? that is being very close to jhaant ke pasine :)
and i agree with G.. we want the report/thesis!!!
fuck dude... great topic.. plz more topics like this plz..we'll come back for seconds
Well well well!!! Speechless, n lets not talk for sometime.... hehe, kidding!!! But OH MY GOOOODDDD
U know who this is...???
i disagree the hindi swear words you mentioned do have a meaning, maybe not literal, but consider this:
behen ke ghode, has two intended insults ---
1)his sister gets fcked by a horse
2)and he is the horse
that was a nice interpretation..and I realise thats yes thats true as I read it again..please to be leaving your name..
