“! # ¢ ¡ ×? ∑ ₪!!” is what you say when you smash your toe on the leg of the bed. At least, I would prefer these terms, because if I would follow the rulez here in Hague [Den Haag]…

Cursing is quite interesting, not only linguistic, but psychologic and anthropological for instance. I really love jargon, slang and curses for years now, and have different books about it. Italian, Japanese, American, etc.
Preferably not for direct use, but because of its form (read: sound) and background.

Years ago there was this great online dictionary with curses and slang form all over the world. I loved it.
Did find it back: The Alternative Dictionaries. It is still there: here.
Wow, this is old (internet) skool to me! ;-)

So the blog of Mark Liberman was a welcome one to point me back… ;-O
