Sau- prefix  bloody, damn, lousy
   die Sauarbeit  damned/bloody/lousy work
   das Sauwetter  damned/bloody/lousy weather
saugen  to suck; to vacuum
   The German word is here only because English-speakers tend to think—erroneously—it can be used for "that
sucks." To say something "sucks" (is bad), see "Scheiße" below.
die Scham  shame; private parts, genitals, vulva (fem.)
   das Schamhaar  pubic hair

   The Rammstein song lyric "bis der Tod der Scheide" is a play on this word and the phrase "bis der Tod euch
scheidet" (till death you do part) in their song "Du hast." See full lyrics.
der Scheiß / die Scheiße  sh--, crap, damn, bloody (Br.)
   It is important to know that the German and English versions of the s-word are not always equal. The English
subtitles of German movies often mistranslate the German expletive Scheiße! Its use in German is frequently
closer to English "Damn!" or "Dammit!" To say "This town really sucks," you could say: Diese Stadt ist echt
Scheiße. Although it sometimes isn't as strong a curse word as English "Sh--!" that doesn't mean you should
casually use Scheiße! in German. An expression such as Dieses Scheißauto! could mean "This f-ing car!" or
"This damned car!" - depending on how it is said and by whom. There is nothing more pathetic than an English-
speaker using "bad" German words he/she really doesn't understand.
Scheiß- prefix  lousy, sh--ty, bloody (Br.), crappy, damned (thing)
   This prefix, like its cousin above, often should be translated as "damned" (thing), or something more mild
than you might think. For instance, when a German says So ein Scheißwetter!, it only means that the weather
is really bad: "Such awful weather!" By the same token, Diese Scheißpolitiker! means "These damned
politicians!" (a universal complaint). Also see "Sau-".
scheißegal adj. of no damned importance
   Das ist mir (doch) scheißegal! I don't (really) give a damn/f---/sh-- (about that)!
scheißen  to sh--, crap
   Du scheißt mich an! You're sh---in' me!/You're a pain in the ass!
   Ich scheiß' d'rauf! I don't give a damn/f---/sh-- (about that)!
der Scheißkerl  bastard, son-of-a-bitch, motherf---er
das Schlitzauge (-n)  chink, gook, slant-eye
schwanger  pregnant
der Schwanz  cock, prick, dick; tail (end) (lit. "tail" of animal)
der Schwanzlutscher  c---sucker
der Schwarze (-n)  black person, negro
   eine Schwarze  a black person, a negress (f.)
   ein Schwarzer  a black person, a negro (m.)
das Schwein  pig, bastard, son of a bitch, swine
   This is one of the worst words in German! NEVER use it (or its compounds) unless you know what you're
doing, and probably not even then! Ironically, Schwein haben means to be lucky: Wir haben Schwein gehabt.
= We were lucky. (We came out smelling like a rose.)
Schweine-/Schweins-  (prefix) dirty, lousy (something/someone)
der Schweinehund/der Schweinekerl  bastard, swine
die Schweinerei (-en)  mess, scandal; dirty trick; indecent act, dirt, filth
   So eine Schweinerei! How disgusting!/What a dirty trick!
schwul (adj.)  gay, homosexual (see note below)
der Schwule (-n)  gay man, male homosexual
ein Schwuler  a gay man, a male homosexual
   NOTE: Do not confuse schwul (gay) with schwül (humid, muggy). The umlaut over the u is important. - Also
see: Lesbe and kesser Vater.
NOTE: Words such as schwul or Schwule are not generally considered "objectionable"—especially in Germany
—but are included here because there are times when talking about someone's sexual orientation might be
considered inappropriate.
