Something to ponder,
It is brought that a reason “Hebrew “(biblical Hebrew) is called lashon hakodesh is because it does not have specific word for the male female private parts
As one poster (tongue in cheek I hope) pointed out, Yiddish is the only language whose foul words made it directly into English
Maybe I’m not so knowledgeable, but I was only able to come up with two such words, both of which are the slang for a word whose non existence in Hebrew is specifically what makes Hebrew holy
