Brithenig speakers are a European culture and share obscenities that are
common to that part of the world.  A'll diawl, "to the devil" is a
common exclamation - I'm not adverse to using it when things go wrong.
They describe things with adjectives such as maldith and ffuded,
"cursed" and "fucked" respectively.  There are also a couple of verb
phrases known.  I have not gone consistently into Brithenig obscenities,
they arise when they are needed, but one important piece of advice, when
visiting a pub in Kemr, never refer to a local as a Saeson (Englishman)
as a brawl to the face may offend.
