In Czech (and Polish and other Slavic languages), there’s “kurva” [pronounced like it’s spelled, but with a lightly trilled ‘r’. It’s roughly analogous to “fuck”. And in Czech specifically, there’s “do píči” [the first word is pronounced like Homer Simpson’s “d’oh” and then the second word pronounced like “peach-ee”], which is used as an emotional expression of annoyance ( such as a negative assessment of the situation) or to express astonishment.
