  1. CW: The FFS Project: question for native / fluent Cornish speakers about swearing

    I am making a collection of sweary phrases for a grumpy but colourful art project. You can see some examples here

    I'm after things you might say when shouting in angry frustration at a news headline (where an exasperated "for fuck's sake" is common in English).

    I have been offered the list below for Cornish. Should any other phrases be taken into consideration before I put them in a poll?

    - ke dhe gyjya
    - kewgh dhe gyjya
    - re'n jowl

    I have already made "bramm an gath", because I am apparently a child and wanted to draw a farting cat, but I should really be asking for other people's favourite.
