Taboo replacements

[Ralf-Stefan Georg]

>I heard once of a German word `assloch' = "anus".

It's /Arschloch/, and though it does maintain the anatomical meaning in the
margin, its main use is that as a somewhat less-than-polite form of
address. Try to say it to a cop, and you'll know what I mean (it is of
course /asshole/). The range of pronunciations oscillates about forms with
and without an audible -r- in German as well (whether I myself have an
r-less form or rather one with -r- I'm unable to tell, since, it goes
without saying, I've never pronounced this word ;-).
