I apologize in advance for anyone who this might offend, and will understand if the moderator feels a need to remove this post. What I'm looking for is a phonetics/pronciation for the following words. Also a few of their translations seem off, so if you know the more exact words I'd appreicate it I came across this at a website called www.youswear.com They seem to have swear words in every language.

Not offended, particularly, but you've got quite a few typos in there. Are you sure you copied the words correctly?
Some of these are less authentic than others. For example, "cac" is simply the Irish word for excrement...it isn't typically used as a swear word. Same goes for "bod"...it's correct, but it isn't normally something you'd call someone to insult him, in the same way you might use "dick" in English.

I thought they looked incorrect, but my irish is so limited I wanted to get you guys to look at them. The specific link I found was;
To answer the question of why I would want to know these words... I'm a part of a renaissance acting troupe, who portrays Irish during the 16th century. I'm trying to help get my guys using more irish.. as they are worse of than me in what gaelic they know. Knowing that folks seem to pick up curse words and pickup lines before all others when learning languages, I wanted to get them started on that. I've been collecting irish phrases, curses and general comments and getting them translated in phonetics/pronciation so that we can memorize these lines (I also plan to hand out little slips of paper with irish phrases on side and the english on the other, and our members have to use that phase some time during the day)
What I'm liking about these swear words though is that nine times out of ten they're just colorful statements meaning the four letter english words I know. It seems very few of the words mean directly a swear word. Those seem less harsh than the stadard curse words I hear here in the US. |

Most Irish curses are exactly that...curses. Scatalogical or sexual references of the sort we tend to favor in English don't really come into play. Most of those types of references are not authentic. For example, one of the phrases you have there is "focail leat"...that's only there because "focail" SOUNDS a little like "F*CK-all"...but all the phrase actually MEANS is "a word with you."
The others are often not words that are used for their impact. For example, as I said before, "cac" simply means "excrement"...it doesn't have the impact of the English word "sh*t."
Now, some of those are authentic curses. "Do chorp don diabhal" (your body to the devil), for example. And some of them are definitely vulgarities ("striapach" really does mean "whore/harlot," for example, and "póg mo thoin" does mean "kiss my arse"). The challenge is separating the authentic stuff out from the Béarlachas.
If this is a renaissance reinactment group, if I were you, I'd stick to the actual curses, and leave the scatalogical and sexual references alone. They're more authentic, and no harder to learn to say (and no more difficult than the English curses you hear at RenFaires!).
