I believe Kuso is literally refering to shit, crap, poop, ect. I don't understand why fansubbers translate it to damn though, maybe everyone yelling "shit!" all the time seems weird to them.
EDIT: I know a curse word, "Chikusho", it always appears in the Japanese manga, I think means damn it, I forgot.

It literally means "bastard," but is often used in situations where it would have to be translated as "damn it" in English. (for example, a character might say "chikusho" in reference to a situation, and not a person)

"Kuso" does literally mean "shit," "excrement," etc. And you're right, it's often translated as damn because it's obscure for an English speaking person to yell "shit" at minor situations. Basically, the word "kuso" in Japan is about on par with the word "damn" in America as far as obscenities go.

Every form of fuck can be expressed in Japanese, only the different phrases will have no connection to each other.

But each of those expressions has a literal translation which does not mean "fuck." Kuso = shit, kusotare = asshole, chikusho = bastard, shimatta = oh no/damn it, etc. It's true enough that you can translate "fuck" into Japanese using any of the above examples, but what I'm saying is that you can't translate the word "fuck" out of Japanese (unless you wanted to stretch the meaning of a different word to make it harsher than it really is).

Uh, okay...I'm not looking for direct translation, just a word that's considered as rude and vulgar as English "fuck".

My bad...
aside from the ones up there, you can also use "yatsu" (which liteally means "guy" but can be considered very vulgar in certain situations).

Ahhh, I see, thanks. I was wondering what it translated to exactly when Goten shouts "Chikusho, chikusho, chikusho Majin Buu!" after he steps on the Chi-Chi egg, and saw it as "damn it" in the translated manga, but I wasn't sure, 'cause those fan translators..."Renzoku shine shine misairu" AKA "Rapid "fuck you fuck you" missiles"

baka yaroo - stupid bastard
Chikushoo - oh Fuck! (literally: "Animal")
Kuso - shit
Kusu o taberu na! - Eat Fucking Shit
Urusai, Kono Bakayaro - Shut up you noisy idiot!
ChinChin - penis ("thingie")
Ketsunoana - Asshole
Pai Pai - Breasts, nipples
onara - fart
onara atama - fart head
onani - masterbate
anato wa onani o shimasuka is - Do you masterbate
kin tama - golden balls
kisama - lord of the donkeys (very rude word meaning "you")
manko - pussy

ahraywah ohmankogah skeeda - I enjoy pussy very much

Isn't the first one "Baka yarou"?
And I don't think there is a double "o" in "Chikusho"...

That's funny because "tchin tchin" in French means "cheers" (or whatever English-speaking people say when they raise their glasses before drinking) and friends of mine told me they upset some people when they were in Japan because they said "tchin tchin" in a restaurant and, well there was a little misunderstanding...

Also: "chimpo" = "baby-sized penis"

Actually, there was an episode of "Insomniac" where Dave Attell was in Japan and he said "Chinchin" as a toast in every bar he went to, thinking it meant cheers. No one was offended, people just thought it was funny.

That's "shi matta", and it pretty much means "damn it" as far as I know.

Well, literally, it's "[something] (unfortunately) has happened," but you get the idea.

All I remember is Freeza yelling it constantly when Goku was pounding the stuffing out of him.

What does "Kuttabachi" mean?

Someone on another board said it meant F*ck

Chibi Mystic Gohan · Post by **Chibi Mystic Gohan** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 10:31 pm

I'm not at all positive, but I think it might mean "Go to hell"
I don't know where I got that, but something about that word makes me think that.

"Ku(t)tabare!" literally means "drop dead!" But it can also (figuratively) mean "go to hell, or "fuck you" or "shove it" depending on the circumstances.
