Tell them off in 169 languages!

Wow. I can now look educated when I tell someone to get screwed in Farsi, Swahili, or Bengali!

Check this out:

If you don't, I'll "Tere bahin ki shalwaar main thook phainkun." (I'll spit in your sister's trousers.) It's Urdu! Who do YOU know that speaks Urdu?

6. The Japanese ones are mostly misspelled or mistranslated, and

some of them appear twice or more in different misspellings. Others ("oushikuso" for "bullshit") are overly literal translations of English expressions that are not actually used in Japanese.

That makes me suspect that the list of alleged Japanese insults comes from what someone who sort of half speaks Japanese heard while frequenting sleazy bars or from someone's overly zealous attempts to find exact equivalents for English expressions, using a dictionary.

Makes me wonder about the examples from the other alnguages.

7. I wouldn't recommend it in Farsi - if you're speaking that....

You're most likely in a place where it isn't good to upset the locals!
