Teach you, ah, then you'll have to learn how to swear like a mexican XD

First: the all ocasion word that doesn't go into the somber Mother insult: Chingada. chi-n-ga(as in gag)-da(as in data). Nice word. I say it aaaall the time.

Comedy? with such a hell of a life? now I'm intrigued...

Hmmm... I think I've got the pronunciation down -- the only trouble is there's two different ways to pronounce "data," lol -- some people pronounce it "day-ta" and some pronounce it "dah-ta." I'm assuming you mean the second?

And it sounds like a fun word to say :-D I use the French "zut" allll the time because it's so fun to say, haha. "Merde" is a bit hard to roll off the tongue, though.

Yeah! He's one hell of a funny guy. It has some pretty deep stories behind it, but it's an easy read. And he's young, too, so that shows :)

Okay, so another example... teh da goes as in dalai lama. lol.

Ohh, Zut sounds so pretty, what does it mean? The japanese mild swaring words always make me laugh, since Ahou (moron) is pronounces just like garlic in spanish, and Baka (stupid) is just like Vaca, wich means cow XDDDD

You're studying chinese, right? any cool swear words?

A-ha! I've got it then, nice!

"Zut" (pronounced "Zoot") really just means "damn." There's a phrase the French use to strengthen it -- "Zut, zut, et zut!" -- and it's just SO funny to hear actual French people say, lol. It makes you think of short little angry Napoleon or something.

I haven't actually gotten to studying any Chinese yet -- will do so either after my Spring Break (when I find an adequate program and when most of my schoolwork is completed), or during the summer. I will let you know, though, if I learn anything good ;)
