EDIT: Fair amount of swear words can be found in a pamphlet Tabuaj vortoj en Esperanto: Vortaro kun ekzemploj pri praktika uzado (1991) by Hèctor Alòs and Kiril Velkov.

Most of them have similar words to English (fik', fek, damne, etc.), but other than those I don't know too many. Interestingly you can tell someone to F off with one word in Esperanto, "forfikigxu". Whoever said Esperanto wasn't efficient

kaŝperanto:with the same meaning as putino (which is also a bit creative - "female well" ).No no, “putino” doesn't have anything to do with “puto” (well). It's related to words from Romance languages, like “putain” (fr., jer., ), “puttana” (it.), “puta” (sp., pt., cat. occ., ast.), “putane” (frl.) but also “πουτάνα” (gr.) and “putain” (wl.).
I must admit, that this false etymology (putin·o → put·in·o) is rather funny.
Nevertheless, one should know, that if this word was to be included in the dictionary by Zamenhof, then he would probably alter the root and make it “puteno” or something like that.

And a discussion about swear words, as a linguistically interesting part of the language, definitely should not be considered inappropriate. ustra (Profiel tonen) 9 september 2014 19:02:33

My favorite from that was the colorful “Mil papoj el Romo!”
