I'd have to say that my favorite is "cunt." The power of swear words comes from their ability to offend people with fragile sensibilities, and we have started to become too desensitized to "fuck." It is my number two favorite swear word due to its versatility, but nothing beats watching jaws drop when you call someone a cunt.

I have a wide array of different ones I like in different situations. The only words I won't say are the n word and faggot. Idk why but I just don't like those words.

When I was a kid I used to walk out to the water line at low tide where nobody could hear me and practice swearing. I'd pretend I had certain teachers or my dad in front if me and at the top of my voice I'd tell them to fuck off and stick their chores/homework up their arses.
It was very therapeutic.
If the soldier crabs were out I'd trample a few thousand of them as well.
I'm glad now that it was an isolated beach. :-)

I have to go with Min on this one.
Whatever the situation, you can't beat "fuck".
To paraphrase Billy Connolly, "Fuck!" is international. Everyone understands it. There's no ambiguity with the word. No softening it's impact, "Fuck off, he hinted."
