Filipino curses are almost cute.필리핀 욕은 좀 귀엽달까?

Too nice to sound scary, even angry.너무 착해서 화를 내도 우스꽝스럽게 들려요

Next up: France.다음 타자는 프랑스

Three of four French picks instantly bombed.야심 차게 준비한 욕 4개 중 3개가 곧바로 맨 아랫칸으로 추락했다

Finally: Korean.대망의 마지막 순서, 한국어

'Byeongsin' lands D, 'gaesaekki' lands B.'병신'은 D, '개새끼'는 B에 안착했다

One word left.이제 남은 건 그 단어 하나였다

'Ssibal' beats Brazil's pick for the top S-tier spot.결국 '씨발'은 브라질의 '넴 포덴두'까지 제치고 S티어 맨 앞자리에 올랐다

💡 Why does 'ssibal' win?
It's Korea's most common all-purpose swear, so overused it's often censored on TV as '18' since the number sounds nearly the same.vs. English: works like 'fuck' — insult, filler, and exclamation in one.Klore note

    'Is there a more satisfying curse than ssb?' (nope, there isn't)

    "ㅆㅂ보다 후련한 욕 없나"(없다)

    Honestly if you say 'ssibsaekkya' with a harsh tone it sounds scarier than ssb, like an actual curse

    나는 ㅆㅂ보다 씹쌔꺄를 좀 억양 쌔게 하면 더 무섭게 들리던대 ㅋㅋㅋ 진짜 욕처럼 들림

    Ssibal is great because it powers up any curse you attach it to. Like 'Ssibal nuoc mam'

    Ssi발은 또 사용하기 좋은게 어떤 욕에 붙여도 강화효과가 생긴다 Ssi발 느억맘
