Foreign insults are great, translating to things like "the fleas of a thousand camels infest your Mother's ....., or a simple French phrase like "Et ta soeur?" (..and your sister?....), then again in English we have the basic, to-the-point, and always usuable F/U...understood world-wide. You tell me.

I will tell you. To insult , the best is Spanish, or, perhaps, Italian. English has no strength, no imagination to insult.
As you say, practically the only expresion that could be considered usable is the well known fuc k you.
No imagination

I'd go with foreign. I think the Germans have some of the funniest sounding swears.

I'm french and i see over 8 british/americain movies (no dubbing of course) since 3 years.
I can tell that english language insults are not very various compared to the subtitles !
For example in the movies "Closer" or "Jarhead" i hardly stand to hear "****/******/*******" again...!!
In France we also have our favourite and very common insults, especially when we're driving :D --> we have A LOT of insults in that specific case.

I'd have to go with foreign...The Turks have a way of throwing out "double sided" insults that make you feel as if you've been complimented! It's only when you walk away and think about what they've said that you realize they not only gave you verbal whiplash, but that their IQ must be 10 times higher than yours 'cause you couldn't even figure it out!

sturdy questioning is used at the same time as someone comes up with a answer for some thing. on your social gathering no individual comes with some thing, it truly is in simple terms use of hardship-free experience. looking a fashion to memorizing some thing a lot less annoying, for instance, it would want to certainly be "sturdy questioning." sturdy success with it.

Foreign insults are for when you don't want the person to understand and the joke is only for you or others who know the language.
English is if you want them to understand OR you're in a foreign country and you use English to make sure they understand..After all, English cusswords are international!
