English obscenity

Question

Hi,
Could anyone give me any reliable source (online dictionary or sth. like that) concerning English obscene language? I need it for an academic purpose. I'd appreciate it really.

Thanks in advance.
Regards!

Yeah, try urbandictionary.com, but remember it's not reliable unless you know how to use it. Most definitions there are just jokes, and the majority of the entries are not in use in reality (most were just made up and submitted by some random bored teenager).

There are too many variations... but if you are only interested in the most common ones, the best sources I can think of are South Park and Youtube comments. Example:
