It's interesting why do people always easily memorise foreign swear words, but when it comes up to a normal vocab, they have difficulties 
Maybe it's because they want to use them right away as soon as they step on a foreign land Or they want to understand these words if someone will ever use one in front of them... Or maybe because the forbidden fruit is suit
, we are always attracted to something that is kind of prohibited.
One of our future students who's applyed for a scholarship wrote in her essay
: "It all started when I was little and went to summer camp with a youth organization in Belgium. There, I met a Russian girl who was staying in a Belgian host family. The first Russian word she tought me was a swear word! She told me that if someone ever treated me badly, I had to call them ‘durak’."
So, of course we hope that it will not be your first Russian word, but the one you definitely need to know
ДУРАК (for a guy) or ДУРА (for a girl) is actually not that bad. Let's say, it's the sweetest way to abuse somebody As a matter of fact, in many Russian folk fairy tales the main character is a ДУРАК. Usually it's ИВАН-ДУРАК (Ivan the stupid).
Hope you'll never have to use Russian swear words, but if you do, you might wanna say something stronger than just ДУРАК
