In this fun post on the Yoyo Chinese blog, Diana Xin goes through various Chinese insults, including explanations and also a guide on how strong the insult is based on a 1-5 scale. Insult words are provided in English, pinyin, and Chinese characters. Perhaps the lesson could be not so much focused on encouraging students to insult someone, but rather on recognizing these insults when exposed to L1 speakers. The type of common insults used can also be a window into cultural practices and beliefs of the target society. The strength scale is also a great way to help L2 students evaluate the level of insult insinuated.
