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
https://things.uk/@eclectech/117179795143803413I'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 jowlI 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.
