You couldn’t get a stroke of genius if you were giving a handjob to Einstein.

I just skimmed this thread, hoping to see my all time favorite Cuban Curse. This little gem convinced me, that when it comes to epithets, Americans have light years to go. (That opinion has since changed, after reading some blistering pittings here at SD.)

Anyway, it’s from my 1950’s memories, and there are definitely misspellings, particularly in the second word. The whole thing goes  
like so:

“Me caguin el guarda fango, que quite el gango de conyo tu puta madre.”

It graphically describes just how low your mamma is, and translates as follows. “I shit on the fender that keeps the mud out of your mother’s cunt.”

To pronounce the second word, for the “g” you have to make a very short guttural noise in the back of your throat (as in the German Ach), followed by a “w” sound for “u”. So, it sounds roughly like “KAHchwin”.

And the “e” in “quite” (another misspelling?) is elided so it comes out as “keet el fango”.

All in all, it can sound so lyrical, you could whisper it to your most precious - but Spanish-ignorant - SO who would melt in your arms over yet another supremely sexy thing you can do with your tongue.

However if you choose to say it to someone in a bodega, I suggest you have your engine running for a very very fast getaway.

Hold that thought, I don’t want you to be stupid the rest of the day.

Nice to meet you, the pleasure was all yours.

Yes, your the one. Your picture was on a pro-abortion billboard.

You are most welcome, that rant absolutely deserved praise and recognition you [turd like four eyed smelly crotched sperm bank](http://www.insults.net/html/odd/random.html?x=4) 😃  
Thanks for the link. Cervaise, if you happen to be passing by the neighborhood, that is an absolute masterpiece. Worthy of the internet hall of fame

The best is: Hippo-croc-a-pig. Not mine but stolen from Chris Moyles but genius all the same.

Oh and try some old worldy ones like: cretin and plebian.  
I also like the Hitchikers’ :Semi-evolved simian.

The one I often use is: Look, here are some razor blades, go stand in that traffic over there and suck them. There’s a good boy/girl/hippocrocapig"
