This is a tricky question to answer. In English, to make sentences rude and disrespectful (even if it's done for shock value or for a laugh) we have a list of "unspeakable" words that can be thrown in just about anywhere in the sentence as an emphasizer. English is pretty flexible in that a word for a sexual act can become a rude emphasizer.

Japanese doesn't really have that flexibility. To make a Japanese sentence rude and disrespectful, you have a couple of options:

1. Use a lower politeness level than is required. "kuru na!" instead of "konaide kudasai"

2. Use disrespectful forms of address, such as calling a person "kimi" "omae" or "temee" (or even "kisama")

3. Put your emphasis in the facial expression and the tone of voice. Japanese are generally considered more sensitive to that sort of thing.

For example, you could say, "Ittai nani o?!" with a really mad expression and lots of anger in your voice and it might be translated to "What the f***?!" And if you said it normally, it might be translated as "What the heck?"

That being said,
--"baka" is term that means fool.
--"yarou" is a rude way to refer to a person.
--"kuso" is a reference to excrement and can be attached to some nouns.
--"chikushou" means "beast" but is usually said like "damn it!"
--"jikoku" means "hell" and is used only in a literal sense
--"che" is a light expletive--kind of like "shoot!"
--"ama" literally means "nun" but can be used as a derogatory word for women (like b****)
--"busu" is a mean way to call someone ugly
--"debu" is a rude way of calling someone fat
