swearing across cultural lines

[Brad Beaty]

Sadly, I’m pretty familiar with the basic English curse words (i.e. sex, body functions, religious) and why and how they are used. I am curious about other cultures. I have traveled a little and it seems that most of the European places that I have visited have the same basic formats. Does anyone know more about this? I am curious about Middle Eastern and Asian cultures. Do they swear or curse in the same way as European cultures?  Thanks
