    Chingar has some history with the whole Spaniard mass rape/conquest of Mexico and the whole La Malinche thing (hence hijos de la chingada). I'm a fan of pinche personally, though it has negative class origins. Can't easily escape the conditions a language comes from.

    Lots of Spanish words have that fun change the adjective suffix make a new swear/dramatization (ex in slang -sos, -sas for anything major, like jodidasos from joder which is about on par with chingar on offensiveness level).
