There are cultures whose swear words have to do with sex (fuck you, motherfucker, screw that, etc.).
There are cultures whose swear words relate to religion (hostia, tabarnak, en crisse, etc.).
There are cultures whose swear words are scatological (ass, shit, etc.).
Of course, all cultures have swear words in several areas but there is always a clear majority.
I’m not truly Ukrainian because the scatological theme does nothing for me. When I hear the convoluted and inventive Ukrainian swearing with the clearly scatological theme, I feel lost. I’m very obviously part of the Russian-speaker culture whose swearing is very genital.
To find out who you really are culturally, drop a heavy object on your foot and take note of what you scream out about.
