Taking a break from the "The Museum Mystery",I thought this was worth posting. I'm a great fan of Tintin and one of the most lovable characters in the comic series is Captain Haddock. One characteristic feature of his, is his use of imaginative swear words. Now my roommmate managed to write down all the swear words in one of the episodes, "The Crab with the Golden Claws". I'm listing them all down:
BEASTS!
SWINES!
COWARDS!
SCOUNDRELS!
JELLY FISH!
TRAMPS!
TROGLODYTES!
TOFFEE-NOSES!
SAVAGES!
AZTECS!
TOADS!
CARPET-SELLERS!
ICONOCLASTS!
RATS!
ECTOPLASMS!
FRESH WATER SWABS!
BASHI-BAZOUKS!
CANNIBALS!
CATERPILLARS!
PARASITES!
POCKMARKS!
BANDITS!
BRUTES!
TWISTER!
HERETIC!
SLAVE TRADERS!
TECHNOCRAT!
BUCCANEER!
VEGETARIAN!
POLITICIAN!
HARLEQUIN!
HYDROCARBON!
ABORIGINE!
POLYNESIAN!
GYROSCOPE!
COCONUT!
FUZZY-WHUZZY!
ANTHROPITHECUS!
BLACKBIRD!
NINCOMPOOP!
ANACOLUTHON!
