Korean profanity

Profanity in the Korean language is referred to as 욕/辱 (yok, insults or swearing). Several of these words have linguistic and historical significance. Various words have different origins. The Korean term for dog, 'gae', for example, can be used in everyday speech with no offensive connotation. When applied to a person, however, 'gae' and its variants (including 개새끼 'Gaesaekki', literally 'son of a dog', and 'son of a bitch' in English) become strong curse words that would not be appropriate for formal or polite conversation.

List
  • 엠창 (em-chang, --) : Your mother is a prostitute. 엠 means mother that is used as slang, swearing. and 창 means 창녀(chang-nyeo), which means prostitute. It is also used when strongly arguing that what you say is true. If the word is wrong, it means that his mother is a prostitute.
  • 느금마 (neu-geum-ma, --) : [VERY RUDE] Your mother(is a prostitute). which is same meaning 니애미(ni-ae-mi), 너희 어머니(neo-hui-eo-meo-ni), 너검마(neo_geomma), 니엄마(ni-eomma)

  • 걸레같은 년 (geol-le-gat-eun-nyeon, ----): Used similarly to words such as "whore" or "slut". The adjective 걸레같은 (geol-le-gat-eun) means "rag-like" (meaning whore-like) and the phrase 걸레같은 년 translates literally to "a bitch who is like a rag" and refers to women who are promiscuous and thus, dirty and tattered/worn out/used up like a rag. The phrase can be abbreviated in use as 걸레년 (geol-le-nyeon).
  • 새끼 (sae-kki, --): A noun used to derogatorily refer to any general person. The word, when not used as a profanity, is used to describe a young of an animal. Note it can also be used affectionately too.
  • 개새끼 (gae-sae-kki, ---): Equivalent to the English phrase "son of a bitch". Combination of the word 개 (gae), meaning dog, and the word 새끼 (sae-kki), meaning offspring or young.

  • 지랄 (ji-ral, --): A word, as a verb, means to talk incessantly and nonsensically.

  • 병신 (byeong-shin, 病身): A noun that roughly translates to "moron" or "retard". It is a compound of the word 병 (byeong, 病), meaning "of disease" or "diseased", and the word 신(shin, 身), a word meaning "body" originating from the Chinese character. This word originally refers to disabled individuals, but in modern Korean is commonly used as an insult with meanings varying contextually from "jerk" to "dumbass" or "dickhead."
