and check out this Middle Egyptian verb (maybe a loan from Semitic rather than an Afroasiatic cognate, idk)

So now you have some cool alternatives to the f-bomb. Interestingly, all end in plosives, three out of four (if we include fuck) in /k/. Some linguist argued recently that there's something satisfying about that and that obscenities in different languages disproportionately end in plosives.

3. Shtup (schtup, schtoop), from Yiddish שטופּן (shtupn), cognate with German stupsen (“to nudge”). This is an Americanism brought to the US by Jewish immigrants. What's interesting is that the word-initial /ʃt/ didn't occur in English, but it does now thanks to this and other Yiddish loans.

2. Bonk, which is predominantly British. The interesting thing about bonk is, although it may seem like it's been around forever, it emerged around 1985. The German tennis player Boris Becker was asked about the word at Wimbledon in 1986 and replied that it "isn't in my dictionary."
