Is it true that 'Lo fos oh shegged ve' is the worst insult I can use to a Hungarian? Or was that just specific to my grandmother?
I think that's a common one, probably the equal of 'Up yours!' or its similar versions, but more elaborately detailed. And that last part is 'be' instead of 've'.

Then again, is there a 'worst insult' in English? Kinda subjective, I think.
Well, telling someone to go get fucked by a horse would be considered... fairly bad.

True, won't argue with that. I only meant whether can we name "the worst insult" in any language or not.

Either way folks, reserve the example mentioned by Nate for those people who you really want to insult.

I can speak French (my mother tongue), English (of course ), a little bit of German and some words of Japanese. And if this can be considered as a "language", then I also speak "Franc-Comtois" .

Mostly like French peoples but with some particularities that makes peoples from Paris goes like :

- We always put "the" before someone's name :
"I just received an E-mail from the Claude. / I was on the phone with the Pascal"

- We tend to make fun of other peoples accent (from Paris, Marseille,etc...), even though we have our very own one

- We have tons of words and expressions for our beloved cheeses, sausages and wines as well. And also some for the weather...

- And in general, almost every "a" like in "car" is pronounced somewhere in the middle of "aw" in "awful" and "o" in "goal". That's our main characteristic. We get recognized because of this every time.

When an American tells me something is awful I tend to think they are talking about organ meat.

British say 'Oarful', Americans say 'Ahful'. Does that help?

All you people better have gotten my last post's wordplay.

Well, I can speak a little French and I'm currently studying Italian for one of my GCSE's.

Of course I have English too because I'm British but that's not saying much.

Spanish from Spain since Spaniard I am, not mexico, not anywhere else X3 It has a nice hint of *Censored a whole lot of content... cause Spaniard may not be the best lenguaje ever, but it has a lot of ways to say F*** you and other insults I enjoy ^^ What? Every lenguaje has its uses.* as well as english which is my 1º lenguaje when I am writing since I work with it better than my foreing one ^^ It is easier to use.
