I've been paying attention to 'cuss/swear' words in Japanese as I study this interesting language more and more. There seems to be no 'cuss' words, but words that are highly offensive instead.

Like, referring to someone as お前 simply means 'you', but it means you in such a... well, damn, MEAN way! The Kanji is お前　is, obviously, 前, meaning 'front'. お前 literally means, 'you in front of me,' which is just so rude, I mean. "Hey, you standing here, SHUT THE FACK UP." Heh, heh. Fack.

I have GOT to be bored to actually study these things.
