Hey Smith. Before making a list of "bad words and slangs", I'd work on some basics if I were you. For example, how is it that you make a question with "does" as a header and then follow it with "can"? Those two auxiliaries simply never fall into the same question. Yes, never. Your question shows that your control of basic English is not so high, which makes the use of "bad words and slangs" (slang, by the way, is mass, not unit, thus is singular, not plural) pretty dangerous. I mean, you could get yourself into a lot of trouble using those words or that slang, not knowing the impact it may have on your listener, from offending them to making them angry with you. So, your question might be better put "Can anyone give me a list of inappropriate words and slang?" and I would include the use that you would be putting that list to. That's why I haven't included a list in my answer, don't want to help get you into a linguistic quagmire! peace, Mr Spears

Hey Spears, Your control of English isn't perfect, either. 'Listener' is singular, but you wrote, ". . . impact on your listener, from offending them. . ." Since when do we refer to the singular 'listener' as 'them?' The original poster's question was clear enough, even though his grammar wasn't correct. Smith demonstrated awareness that the words he wanted to learn were "bad." He doesn't need you to tell him he should be able to ask a question without any mistakes before you deign to give him the answer he is seeking.

Why should profanity be the exclusive province of native speakers? A seventeen year old male doesn't want to be told that his English isn't good enough to be able to learn the fun stuff. I said that it was for between friends of the same age. What is so frightening about the F-word that the editors xx'ed it even in an educational context, and uptight people gave me negative votes just for giving the guy a real answer?

Whilst all these examples are interesting, I wouldn't recommend using them in formal situations. Sayings like these always sound weird when a non native speakers says them. It would be like me swearing in your language . You'd think I was silly wouldn't you!

Warning: This answer contains a little profanity for the purposes of education. The word "fxxking" is one of the most effective intensifiers (making the intended meaning of a statement stronger) in the English language, and it is used liberally throughout the English speaking communities. It is best used in informal, casual contexts, and should only be used to give an extreme emotional quality to the described thing. It's good seasoning to your informal, between friends, language, and can endear you to your English speaking same-age peers. 'Fxxking' can intensify a noun, adjective, or even an occasional verb! Examples: "This barbecued chicken tastes fxxking awesome!" "You fxxking idiot!" "Quit the fxxking whining, and just fxxking give me the fxxking money already!"
