ENSEMBLE S-WAYNFORTH
I keep meaning to get the Profanisaurus, I got it for my brother but I haven't yet picked up a copy for us. Anyhow, for those who might like to explore the world of British profanity (where swearing is almost as natural as breathing) http://www.viz.co.uk/?%2Fprofanisaurus%2Fprofan_index.php%3Ffb%3D1 I noticed there is an obscene hangman game offered there as well.

That Profanisaurus is GREAT!
Liam's really digging learning Japanese, but what he *really* wants
to know is, among other things of course, how to swear in
Japanese. I don't think Rosetta Stone can help us with that, you know?
Of course, now I think of it, if anyone has any resources to point us
in for learning Japanese swear words, we'd be ever grateful!

If you type in "japanese swearing", there are several pages about it.
But maybe he already has an inkling about this.
