I’ll start. Inn Norwegian the word for uterus is Livmor. It literally translates to life mother. I think it is such an expressive and beautiful word. Do you have words like that in your language?

    Tabarnak

    Considered a very strong profanity. It takes the place of “Oh shit!” but with the sting of saying something like the C word in public. Poetic because it’s not a bad word at all. It references the tabernacle of a church where communion is kept. It’s only hardcore because Quebec is very Catholic, more than half, and it’s considered blasphemous. Especially by older folks.

      Yeah, I learned this word working with some French Canadians and they also taught me some other church related curse words that I’ve since forgotten.
