Via Science Blogs: The periodic table of swearing

Click on the small image of the periodic table to see the “elements”. It is recommended to not do this at work.

I just imagined how crazy my chemistry class would had been!

Interesting. They don’t put them in order of vulgarity, but match the order of reactiveness with the actual chart. In other words, the noble gasses cover “tit,” a fairly innocuous word.

Still would have been nice if they’d included the artificial elements, and used phrases that don’t actually exist, but, in theory would be insulting.

As it seems, it was made in Britain, I wonder what the heavier elements would be in the USA…

I’m stealing “acting like a cock snake on plant food”. British swears are definitely the best swears.

I knew it had to be British the moment I saw arsehole.

The actinides are class - Pringle wearing cunt :slight_smile:

I’m British, but I’m scratching my head over ‘Stink like a piss ceefax’

The chart was designed from the guys from Modern Toss; they have an annual exhibition every May at a little gallery in Brighton that my partner and I like to attend – that periodic chart was one of the prints on display and was selling quite briskly apparently!

My favorite Modern Toss character is Alan, followed by Mr Tourette, Sign Painter, for any other fans out there.

Not to be confused with arsole.

Where the hell is “Bugger”? Sure, there are a couple variations (Bot-64, Bos-33), but the essential root, as well as the divinely all-purpose “Bugger-All!”, are sadly missing.
