@#$%^& you!!

The main intention of abuse is to insult and also hurt the other person. Thats the key. If you have a set of vocabulary that your recipient does not understand or does not consider derogatory, sorry , its a waste!

In kannada as kids,abuses were mainly restricted to the animal names.
x: "Kaththe" [Donkey]
y: "Kothi" [Monkey]
x: "Naayi" [Dog]
y: "Goobe" [Owl]
x: "Handhi" [Pig]

This would go on and on till limited vocabulary of animal names were exhausted or one of the kids would decide that the best way to tackle a verbal abuse is by his fist!
There were few other variant words of demon/devil like "Devva", "Bhootha", "Pretha", "Peede", "Pishaachi" - it helped those, who knew very few animal names and not too keen to get into fist fights!

As we grow older, most of the animal names lose their effect. In fact, some of them change their meaning altogether.
"Kaththe", "Kothi", "Handhi" almost move out of ones vocabulary.

The other day my friend Kiran asked what does " Goobal" mean as it is the most widely used word in coversation!
"Goobal" and its so many versions like "Goob", "Goobs", "Goobal", "Goobad", "Goobald" etc evolves from "Goobe" which is usually accompanied by false anger, a suppressed smile etc!

"Naayi" however takes different meanings altogether. Here are a few examples.
Australia India kayyli naayi thara hodskondru" [Australia got beaten badly in India's hands]
"Avnu naayi thara thinthane" [He hogs a lot, like a dog] Dog stands for 'too much'.


So it goes until one day , the "real" abusive words come to your rescue.
The more common of the is 'Magne' [son] and its plural 'Makla'[children] not much to swear about in english but in kannada they have their own weightage.

And there are instances when all 3 of these are mixed!
You doing a very important work and your Friend is irritating paying no heed to your pleads for him to stop and you burst up and say "Eh Goobe!! Naayi tara adbeda Magne!![ You owl!Don't act too much, son!!]

Well in English, SHIT! Am not going into that FUCKed up BULLSHIT that those IDIOTs say !!
