I wish my parents did this. I have such a mental block on cursing that I can't bring myself to say it out loud, even though I'm thinking about it and it's the perfect choice of words for the moment. I also feel socially left out by people around me because of that, as in they can be themselves and I have to restrain myself.
Funny enough this is only in my native language. Since I grew up watching YouTube videos from english speaking people that cursed a lot, that feels very comfortable and natural.
The other day I was rewatching some adventure time on hbo max and saw they were censoring the word idiot. I'm pretty sure they were censoring a bunch of other cartoons that weren't censored back in the day. That pissed me off so much, they are just limiting our vocabulary more and more for words that have a somewhat negative connotation.
the native language thing is so wild, i have the same but for sexual language. dirty talk in swedish just makes me laugh and cringe in equal amounts, but it works perfectly fine in english.
