No Stupid Questions

A lot of Americans who say "fuck" will still lose their goddamn minds if you say "cunt".

I like calling people inanimate objects. Being angrily called a "fucking waffle" or a "God damned acorn" hits different than the normal curses and slurs

For best results, it depends on the context.

For example, when I'm dealing with people who cannot (or refuse) to do the simplest of tasks, I've found myself muttering "ugh, just read the instructions I wrote you troglodyte".

Niggard/niggardly sounds like a really, really, awful choice for a word to describe someone cheap like Scrooge. It's not a slur it just sounds way too much like one. The use of the word is controversial despite the only connection the two words share is how they sound.

I wouldn't use the word around people though. Explaining how a word that sounds racist isn't racist makes you appear to be more racist. It isn't a slur but gets treated as if it was one.

✓ quite offensive

✓ not a slur

X you probably still shouldn't use it

As an Australian, I would like to introduce you to a word more offensive than “fuck” while just as versatile, and that is “Cunt”.

In a professional setting: disappointment is the strongest word I've ever said to someone

Outside that? I don't know if there is a good cutoff between slur/not slur... The one I vividly remember was old Chinese social media users (before the blockage) calling some people "Wumao" (translates to 50 cents). This is implying that the person is being a troll, and they did it because they were so pathetic that they accepted a 50-cent commission from the government to say good/bad things on the internet. Probably still the worst insult I could imagine till this day; modern equivalent might be calling someone "nice job ChatGPT" or a "Russian bot"

Muppet, munter, twat. Just start using UK insults

Not a word, but my favorite recent addition was when someone told me her husband, rather than flip people off in road rage situations, just looks at them and gives them a thumbs down gesture, and it makes them so much more mad. I’ve been doing it whenever I see Cybertrucks.

I'm french and I tend to swear using disgraced politician. You say "Sac à manuel valls" instead of "Sac à merde" ( Bag of shit ) and you can probably do the same with other well hated politician. There nothing like blamming Manuel Valls when I stub my toe.

When in doubt about swearing look to the british. Cunt and bugger.

Presidential.

Come to the Netherlands and you can swear with all the diseases you want! Except cancer - some people will take genuine offense if you do that. But typhus, cholera, tuberculosis? Those are a-okay!

I love ones that make it seems like you're talking down to a kid

Flapjack, doof, pipsqueak, piece (as in "you piece"), dingodile, jackwagon etc.

Shit and fuck are just spicy filler words anymore so you gotta switch it up

Piss slit

Viz invented the word "fitbin" as the most offensive word ever. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fitbin

I have a good one. Once a small machine shop in my hometown had their adjustable sign say "gravely bad-boy scag" which sounds like the best insult ever, but apparently all 3 are brands of lawnmowers that they sold.

Me and my sister still call each other scag to this day lol

Pig's sluice

Clanker. It’s a slur, but who cares. AI don’t have feelings.

If you're in America: "cunt." Alternatively: "Karen."

I forgot viraĉo exists.

I cannot think of anything outside of the not so humble Australian cunt for single words. That or LLMbecile ( one I heard here ).

Though, when talking to others, a classic "Mr. Rodgers would be disappointed in you." is always an option.
