I'm in a quandary. About a year and a half ago, I came across an interesting document. Well, "came across" is misleading. Rather, I searched high and low for a listing of Russian curse words and their English equivalents. The Alternative Dictionary wasn't useful for my search because it used Latin letters and not the Cyrillic, so I had a hard time reading it. It took me days to find what I needed, so I made sure to save it for posterity.
Now, my motives were pure. You see, when you're a teacher that does not speak the same language as her students, the little angels get it into their heads that they can say anything they want and the silly teacher will never understand. So I learned it and got back at them. Now, I occasionally think that I should list the revised version (I got my tutor to blushingly update it) because maybe there's another poor American out there that is being cursed at in Russian and they don't understand at all.
Now here's where the vote comes in. Probably I shouldn't put it up because young, impressionable minds might get their grubby hands all over it and lose their innocence. But then I think on my childhood and we all knew the bad words by about 8, right? (oh god, please let it not just be me!) And there's all those poor non-Russian speakers who could be getting cursed at right now with no come back. And we're all adults, we can handle it, right?
So what's a girl to do?
