Simply, “KNACKERS AND PISS!” My ex BF gave me that one, and also “BUCKETS OF FUCK!” “ARSEWEASELS!” is my own. ---

“Horse’s Ass!” “Jesus Aaron Presley!” “Fuck a duck!” When moving up in expletive severity, I, too, prefer the good solid 30-06 shot of the single outburst to coprolalic rambling. One good solid “Fuck!” will usually sum up what I have to say as well as anything could. (I am probably going to have to use “God’s Cock!”, though.) Dr. J ---

First off, I should say that I’m in total admiration of “God’s Cock!” I hope I remember that the next time something really nasty happens to me. I’ve often used “Bloody Hell”, or just a simple “fuck” or “shit.” But the one I’ve used the most when I’m really pissed off is “Christ on a stick.” Can’t explain why, but there are times when the rhythm of that curse just feels right. ---

‘Sperm burping gutter gash.’ is a favorite of mine. ---

Many horrible words describing the fate of your immortal soul, your relationship with your mother, your parents’ illicit marital status, and a wide variety of unusual sexual practices. I haven’t actually had the opportunity to use this one yet, I’m saving it for just the right moment. ---

I ran across a great quote from Penn Jillette, from a bit in their show in which he juggles broken liquor bottles. He explains that they prefer not to use profanity in their show, but “If I get cut, I’ll take you on a scatological, sexual, white-knuckle ride through the Old Testament featuring the violent, non-consensual sex acts of Deuteronomy 14 through 27 described in the graphic street language of the late, great, Tupac Shakur.” Dr. J ---

I find that shouting the Seven Words You Can’t Say on (network) Television in sequence usually does the job. ---

I’ve always found that there is something satisfying about saying “Jesus **FUCK** ” or “Jesus H. **FUCK**.” MR ---

‘Nogooddirtyrottenmotherfuckinbastard.’ Meant to be said fast and furious. And only in a fit of hate, frustration, or in dealing with a complete asshole. good luck. ---

When I’m really at the end of it, I grit my teeth and say “Oh, Fuck me in a BIG WAY!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-best-curse/34233.md?page=2)
