Before listing all common swear words
below, let's also learn about guestures. These are normally
only used to give offence.
1. In China the principle guesture is to put your thumb
between your index and middle finger.
2. In USA the middle finger is raised with the palm
of the fist towards you.
3. Be very careful in UK, as the sign is to make a V
shape using your index and middle fingers, whilst the
other fingers are closed with the thumb wrapping round
the other fingers. If you make this gesture with the
hand held stationary, fingers upwards and palm outwards
then it is the Victory salute. If you make this same
gesture with the palm facing inwards then it is derogatory
towards the person on the receiving end, and means 'Fuck-off'.
This gesture is often made by moving the fingers backwards
and forwards from the wrist joint. Chinese should be
aware of this, and especially when indicating number
two using only hand signals, or posing for pictures.
It would be best to hold the hand still and fingers
pointing across your body.
Lets move on to the common swear words...
