Siktir
'Siktir' is the direct counterpart of the English 'fuck' and can therefore be used anywhere. Whether you stub your toe or want to give someone a piece of your mind, this word is your best friend.
Amına koyayım
This is one of the most used swear words in Turkey, but also one of the crudest curses. The literal translation is extremely vulgar and targets the genitals of the other person or their mother.

Siktir git
'Siktir git' simply means get lost or piss off. The combination of 'siktir' (fuck) with 'git' (go) makes it a powerful way to end any conversation immediately.

Orospu çocuğu
This is one of the crudest Turkish swear words. It's equivalent to son of a whore and leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination.

Şerefsiz
With 'şerefsiz' we touch a sensitive nerve in Turkish culture. It means dishonorable, or someone without shame.

Piç
This is the Turkish answer to bastard. The sound is short and aggressive, which makes it an excellent insult for a heated argument.
