    I never knew that 'saniyan' is a swearing word !
    Liberty is my religion. Liberty of hand and brain -- of thought and labor. Liberty is the blossom and fruit of justice -- the perfume of mercy. Liberty is the seed and soil, the air and light, the dew and rain of progress, love and joy.

    Malayalam cuss words

    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!

    malayalam cuss words

    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!
