Maybe I'm a bit of a puritan but I think swearing in a foreign language is pretty "feo," especially for females. I once saw a request in the Spanish-English forum of Word Reference.com from an Irish lass who wanted Spanish speakers to give her swear words and phrases because she didn't speak Spanish but she noticed that whenever she used vulgar language in Spain, that people would laugh. Hmm. More than likely people were laughing AT her and not with her. Especially with some of the macho aspects of Spanish, there are certain terms and phrases that really don't sound good coming out of the mouth of a woman. Proceed with caution.
