German has much cooler swear words.
French has variable swear words, such as "zut," which have varying strength based on situation.  Then it has an infinitive verb for "to party":  "sortir"

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

German is easier to understand because it does not suffer as much from what I call THAT FUCKING SYLLABLE MUSH. Basically, when you don't know a language well enough, listening to a fluent speaker you aren't sure what the hell he's actually saying because it all sort of melts together into one great big pot of consonants and vowels and you're not sure which is where.

Anyway, German sounds better to me. I do not believe for a second that you can convert me.

Pfft, English has variable swear words. German has the really horrible ones that make people cry. Well, I saw one lady cry because her German husband swore, but I guess one is more than I've seen in any other language.

Heh, German has syllable mush too :P

Yes, but less of it. Unless the speaker is drunk, I guess.
