Well, you got me laughing instantly just looking at the article's title. The first thing one notices reading an odd article listed at the front page is the amount of swearing you yourself use on this very site, for no obvious reason (damn this and that, pissing off, to name but a few :-)
I suppose you think swearing in English is noble as opposed to swearing in primitive Balkan languages.
So, as ironic as it is, you should give your thoughts a pass through your own filters before publishing online :)

May the fine devils take you never to return, as the old swearing in these parts goes.

Well, there are different types of what is considered profanity, and the importance of context.

Balkan folks use profanity to express the following:

* sad
* happy
* mad
* angry
* horny

They also use it for:

* greeting
* complimenting
* criticizing
* being excited
* being surprised
* saying hi
* saying goodbye
* translating cartoons for children
* everything else

Obviously, many people don't realize that profanity doesn't make you "cool" and that life is not a Tarantino movie :-)
