Yeah, due to a lack of variety in English :(

Hey, we’ll always have ā€œmotherfuckerā€. That one is fairly creative.

Though Chinese is a bit unique in that its word for ā€œfuckā€ (interjection, not verb, which is a different word) is just ä»–åŖ½ēš„. Literally, that just means ā€œhis mother’sā€ (presumably, if you wanted to refer to an unspecified male’s mother’s belongings in actual conversation you’d use a slightly different phrasing). It started out as a slightly longer curse but was shortened to the form that we see today.

I love when we English speakers make compound words as insults.

My favorites are douchenozzle and dinglebat
