It is believed that the ancient Greeks often cursed and were foul-mouthed

We all use swear words in our daily lives. It's a way to express our feelings, at least those that... are not expressed in any other way.

But how many of you have wondered how the ancient Greeks cursed?

It is assumed that the ancient Greeks often cursed and were foul-mouthed.

In fact, in the book by Marios Verrettas, "The dirty words of the ancient Greeks", there is a reference to the way the ancient Greeks insulted and vulgarized.

Here are some words the ancient Greeks used when they wanted to belittle someone: woman with a nice buttocks
KASORIS: a woman's buttocks
POSTHON: a man with a large p@os
MYSURIS: a woman who sucks p@os
HODONOTHIKI: the vulva
LOTHMI: the hairy vulva
HALKIDITIS: the very cheap prostitute, the one who is prostituted for a copper coin
