Not really, it's more that words spoken in anger...

"The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in any language is priceless." Attributed to Mark Twain

Got it!

My only real swear word in the view of the above posts would be idiots. That is really the only word that genuinely expresses my anger, especially when I have to wait on hold for customer service, listen to some elevator music, and then the computer answers,The number you entered does not match our records, please enter again, and then you get transferred to the customer service the dialect of which is hard to predict, let alone the quality of the connection so you can hear anything at all. Otherwise the person sounds exactly like the computer, asking you for the same information for the fifth time, and then I usally hang and say my magic word to feel better.

I mean more the people who invented this system than the customer service themselves, although some of them can be annoying.

I kind of like some Swedish swear words, not that I use them at all, but they sound magic, probably like the Danish ones, a little bit mystical, rather than vulgar.

I did't mean dialects here, but DIALECTS, which I love, all of them, but not necessarily when I have to decipher each word when I am trying to find out how to fix my computer problem.
