A few corrections:
#3) “Ça” is not spelled “ca” (though the “ç” can be difficult to render on some keyboards). Also the verb “chier” literally means “to shit,” so “ça me fait chier” means “it makes me shit” (you can also use this verb to mean “it bores me,” etc.)
#4) The masculine form of “salope” is spelled “salaud.”
#5) The correct conjucation would be “Je m’en fous.”
#6) The feminine of “con” is “conne,” and historically this term (con) meant “cunt.” Thus the verb “déconner” (plaisanter, to joke) literally meant to remove oneself from someone’s vagina etc.
Additionally your pronunciations are atrocious. That said I do like the idea.

‘Son of a bitch’ = ‘Fils de pute’ , and not ‘Fils de salope’ (which is less vulgar)

How about the milder one like...Vous’ette une salaud prix. You are a dirty dog?
We used to make up our own french words and expressions like...merde oiseau. “shit bird”

Ta Gueule! (THAI-gull) -> this is a shortening of “ferme ta gueule” where “gueule” is the french variation of an _animal’s_ mouth – not a human. this isn’t just “shut up” in the standard american usage. this is “shut your snout” or “shut your face” but it’s more insulting than just “shut your mouth.” the animal connotation is the especially insulting part.
so there are three levels ...
tais toi ...shut up (average american equivalent)
ferme ta bouche ... shut your mouth (normal, insulting but not so bad) ferme ta gueule ... shut your trap/snout/face (the most insulting version)
