Cantonese Profanity
Cantonese is the traditional prestige variety of Yue Chinese, a Sinitic language belonging to the Sino-Tibetan language family.

It is used as an emphatic adjective with a function similar to the English "fucking", "bloody" or "god damned". For example, ''Water Margin'', Chp. 29 ''Diu'' means primarily the penis. It is written as 屌 when used in this sense, but usually as 鳥 when used as an emphatic adjective. For example, ''Romance of the Western Chamber'' (), Act 5, Scene 3 () has its female equivalent 屄 (pronounced bī in Mandarin and hai1 in Cantonese) in the traditional Chinese written language.
