Outside of professional settings... I’ve been told got a fairly “filthy mouth” that could “make a sailor blush”
#ActuallyAutistic #AskingAutistics - does anyone else love profanity?
Bonus points: What are your favorites?
Since moving to Sweden six years ago, I've found myself using Swedish more than English when it comes to interjection-based swearing. Particularly because most Swedish swearing involves either blasphemy or genitals, which seems so much more creative to my American mind.

Besides that, people are generally way more laid back about profanity over here. At our company of 60+ people, the group refrain after our Monday- and Wednesday-afternoon all-hands meetings is a "LETS'S FUCKING DO IT!" and, honestly, it just feels more genuine.

Does any other word in the English language have more implicit meanings and varied uses than “fuck”? nah

There's something rather wonderful about some good, guttural Norse swearing. It's why the rudest words in English are Anglo Saxon. Arse! Twat! (BTW - I know twatten is the Swedish verb to wash, so I'd love to see the etymology there!)

I'm rather sorry to disappoint, but the Swedish verb "to wash" is in fact "tvätta". Subtly different, but not pronounced quite the same as the word you're thinking of. ;)
