Hey, I was wondering...how far does the history of tamil swearing go?

Since this is a topic about swearing, I will give you some cuss words in Malayalam:

"mayiru" is a term usually friends use...like in Malayalam a friend will say "poda mayiraeeee" or "poda mayirandi!"

Polayadi---> good for nothing "polayadi monayyy!"

Naayai---> dog, "naayindu monayy!"

Ok, I will stop there, there are more disgusting words....that are also common in Tamil. This is about as far as I'll go!

once i used mayiru ..........anniku vaangina thittu naala.....i stopped swearing in tamil from then i just used small words like punnaku or podalanga

Yeah, in Kerala "mayiru" is the most commonly used curse word, and also "koppu" which can be heard in some movies.

I remember Jayaram in a Malayalam film, he had a feud w/ Vinu Chakravarthy who was also acting in that film, he said to Vinu..."poda koppai!". LOL

What is wrong in swearing in Tamil? If you are angry enough you should feel free to expres yourself in the language which is near and dear to you. Tamil is too great to be belittled by your swearing! Actually someone says that swear words are harmless catharasis for pent up feelings!

Sorry ! Mannichukongo! It was not my idea to hurt anyone. Just an example athough a bit uncivilised, I agree. Sorry!

Ennanga ithu discussion.

Venting out anger is normal as any language or anyone is concerned. Aathirathai yen adakanum
