Finnish insults

Swear words do not necessarily have to be insults. Insults are supposed to give somebody a poke in the eye, meanwhile swear words primarily express radical emotions that one cannot cope with. Although, swearing might be socially unacceptable and inappropriate, let's be honest, it doesn't hurt anyone. However, insults usually lead to arguments and can actually offend people. Hence, remember - If you study Finnish, Finnish insults are worth knowing as any other piece of vocabulary natives use, but are Finnish insults worth using? We don't think so.
