Your Favorite "Swear" Word

Through time, as we have evolved through changing times and cultures, certain standards have been erected for essentially all aspects of life. I am simply wondering if you had a preferred word of disdain. My personal favorite is this:

 

"Oswald:...I know thee not.

 

 Kent: Fellow, I know thee.

 

 Oswald: What dost thou know me for?

 

 Kent: A knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats, a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking, whoreson glass-gazing, superservicable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch..."

 

Whew...that is a mouthful to even type, never mind apply to everyday conversation. This is from Act 2, Scene 2 of King Lear, between a faithful follower of King Lear (Kent), and a sycophantic steward (Oswald). You can rename as necessary but I am curious if you agree with me or you have your own creative comeback.
