# 2 is spot on, though.:)

2. THEY SWEAR
I was born in England, my parents are Scottish, and I grew up in Canada, so swearing like a drunken sailor is called “speaking English.” The word “cunt” means “friend” as in, “It’s your round, you cheap cunt,” and “fucking” means “very.” In America, talking to people like that makes their faces jump and flinch like you’re lighting off firecrackers at their feet. If you do it in the South, it breaks their heart.

A load of shit. Go anywhere blue collar and expect a stream of obscenities. Hell, my mom can swear the ears of a construction worker.

Ok then, next time you see your mum, show her the videos you find on youtube after searching for "Malcolm tucker" or "Malcolm tucker in the thick of it"..

He elevated swearing to an art form...

She'll love it.
