Rude, crude, and socially unacceptable in any language

If you ever wanted to curse in another language, you could do a lot worse than to visit The Alternative Dictionaries. It was very helpful when I was looking for the Polish/Ukrainian word my grandmother used to use to describe one’s hindquarters.

’dupa’?

Yes, exactly, although my grandmother used a diminutive form, "dupee". And then, of course, when someone was a jerk, my uncle might call them a "dupayosh", which unfortunately isn’t listed in the dictionary linked to above, but you can probably guess the meaning.
