OnelargeprawnIn a project similar to Phraseology, graphic designer Theo Olesen mixes typography and profanity to wonderful effect. He takes common swear words and illustrates them by hand before scanning them into Photoshop for further processing.
In his hands, cursing certainly look betters than it sounds. Have a look at some of his beautiful swear words after the jump [NSFW].
Fuck is a versatile word and can be used as a noun, verb (both transitive and intransitive), adverb, adjective, or and as interjection. This colourful word has wormed its way into our everyday speech and in his 14-minute supercut, YouTuber user mewlists, catalogues the 100 best moments in movies that feature the F-bomb. I don’t think I need to tell you that the video is NSFW, fornicators of matriarchs.
It seems embedding of the video has been disabled, so you’ll have to watch it on YouTube itself. Here’s the link – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjrusKatMWs
If you’re a glutton for punishment, mewlists has followed up his original video with 100 more of the greatest fucks in film. Find that supercut after the jump.
A quick look at Wikipedia reveals that a documentary entitled “Fuck” holds the record for the most number of F-bombs dropped in a film – that would be staggering 824 fucks in the space of 93 minutes.
While there were only 265 fucks uttered in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, YouTuber user thecussingchannel picked up a total of 429 swear words in the film, and edited them together into a three-minute supercut. I believe I don’t need to mention that the video may be a teensy bit NSFW.
For an extra dose of cussing, plonk this post in the Samuel L. Jacksonizer.

Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev is probably rolling in his grave. There is a periodic table for all manner of things these days – beer, meat, dessert, typefaces, video game characters. You can now add swearing to the ever-growing list.
The people over at Modern Toss in jolly Blighty have created a Periodic Table of Swearing filled with colourful phrases which you may not have heard of. It’s not anywhere near as obnoxious as Roger’s Profanisaurus but if you’re in need of some education, check it out after the jump. It’s NSFW.
