yea in my opinion english language is prudish. my mother has an unspoken rule that screaming FUCK SHIT CUNT is equivalent to saying ouch, but a single blyat gets you a smack on the lips and a lecture. i still swear like a sailor in ukrainian, a language rich with hundreds upon hundreds of variations of swear words and “swearifying” any verbs and nouns, but when i curse in english it doesn’t even register as profanity. i fear there’ll come a time when i give an important speech in english, using “fucking” as an adjective to fill in the gaps, and not realise i’m using foul language tm
