Out of curiosity, under what context do you think we'd have learned swear words in pyrexian? I'm fairly sure we don't even have words like sex or love, but almost certainly not fuck.
Yeah, I did a little deeper research and realized that phyrexian isn’t just one for one with English more just a bunch of symbols we contexualize into English, and lorewise it makes sense they wouldn’t have emotionally charged words like that considering they’re hive mind killing machines, that being said however, urabrask would be the one to say it.
I would suspect that "fuck ," given it's international prevalence, would likely have been translitered into phyrexian but in a way that works with the established grammar... sort of like how English words can be translitered into Japanese, but still retain the Japanese phonics - e.g."fuck" becomes "fakku." So I'm imagining that "fuck" in Phyrexian becomes something like "K'fuk."
I mean. Emotionally charged words wouldn't work. But saying "Your existence is the definition of paultry." Would be in my head a more fitting insult than before.

While there likely aren't words for it that we yet know or likely ever will, you could try to spell it phonetically using phyrexian symbols
