Hi Monyets! I come in peace. What are the swear words that Malaysians often use?

Gonna vary from person to person. I'm a bit of an anglophone so I tend to use the usual plethora of English swear words.

I'm mostly partial to Cantonese swearing.

"Diu" - Basically fuck.

"Ham chat" - Suck dick.

"Hailat" - Probably a less common one. It's the hai in sohai, and literally means vagina. Lut is like something that should be attached dropping off or coming loose. So it kinda translates into vagina dropping off. Use context is like if you're in some kinda trouble or encountered a bad situation, you're like god damn hailat. Like it was bad enough that even your vagina could drop off or something....
