Today I found out something new (game of words). Today I tolked with my friend, Karen. She from America, but now she live in Belorussia, in Minsk. We talked abot different things and I really don't remember how, but we started to talk about... BAD WORDS!!! Hahahah))) It was really funny. The fact is that there a lot of bad words in russian language. We call it МАТ (mat, you know, like the checkmates hahah=)). Karen did not expect that in my language so many, how she called it, swear words. And this is what suprised me! I mean the "swear words". Seriously, is it called so? I mean... ahahah))) "to swear" meaning, you know, vow or обещать, клясться, if you want is in russian. In short, it was my today's wonder =)

Seriously, is it called so are they called that? I mean... ahahah))) "to swear" meaning, you know, vow or обещать, клясться, if you want it in Russian. In short, it was my today's wonder =)

Yes, indeed.  It is weird.

"You are a ******" "Don't swear at me you ****"

Also called "curse words", "blue language", "foul language",  etc

You may even hear this among people of a certain age: "Pardon my French but he is a ******"
