Can anyone help?
I want to be able to use the more arcane and comical profanities, the kind of swearing that stuns and disarms.
If anyone has vocabulary and/or delivery tips to share, please add to the comments of this posting.

can you be just a little bit more specific
about what you mean by ‘the more arcane and comical profanities, the kind of swearing that stuns and disarms’?
I can provide you with Dutch ‘fowl language’ but just how fowl do you want it to be?
Will have to think hard though. I kind of stopped swearing down the lane…
But: would love to help! :)

Oh, right, but no Canadian English ones.
While we aren’t well known for our swearing, it is a perfectly arcane, comical and clicheed insult in this country to call someone a “hoser” as you may well know. Not especially insulting, I guess…kind of endearing actually…but if you said it with a really nasty sneer….or….y’know…
I remember
actually being in tears when someone called me “stupid cow”, and I think it happened more than once (when I was 12). It was the venom with which it was said, and yes the sneer.
Which goes to show, its not what you say but how you say it.
hoser :) I am not familiar with that. My vocabulary is now widened, once I look up what it means…

"FUCK OFF, DUMBASS!"...
...usually works for me.
Arcane and comical? No, I don’t think so.

great goal
In high school, I knew how to say “shit” in about 8 languages. My favorite: Greek
“scata!” with the accent on the second syllable.

ok, here's a good curse
in Portuguese (I hope I spell it right…):
“Puta que te pario” – the whore who gave birth to you
I think you want to pronounce it thus:
“PUta ke che paREEu”
