So you just have make something up that you think sounds vulgar, or sufficiently insulting.
Ĉu vi taksas min kreteno!
Eĉ idioto ne kredus tion.
Vi babilas kiel sencerbulo.
He, Porko! Fermu cian faŭkon. (Some translators/authors have experimented with 'Ci' to convey lack of respect but I have never come across it outside the written page)
Incidentally, a rather quaint (now) expression for incomprehensible nonsense is Volapukaĵo

sudanglo:The problem is that the Esperantistoj are not kruduloj. They are bonedukitaj ĝentiluloj - the sort of people who wouldn't be vulgar in their own languages. So it's difficult to say based on actual usage.sudanglo:
Hmmm I beg to differ I I have some quite colorful language at times

The problem is that the Esperantistoj are not kruduloj. They are bonedukitaj ĝentiluloj - the sort of people who wouldn't be vulgar in their own languages. So it's difficult to say based on actual usage.Hmm, really? If Esperanto is able to be used in any daily context, just like other languages, surely this would include swearing, no?
I am not sure what the forums' rules are as regards profanities, but suffice to say, Esperanto swearing can be quite colourful with a little imagination. It need not be restricted to bookish registers.
