We need to add swearing to the genre of "things only my culture does" along with classics such as "food is very important in my culture" and "family is very important in my culture*
I am Italian. I have been living in the UK for many years, but I still swear only in Italian. The British swear like innocent teens who’ve just discovered sex, whereas even the mildest Italian insult will make the receiving person feel humiliated for existing and having heard it.
@iconawrites I think it's just differences, i dont think the average uk person doesn't value their family they just aren't seeing them as often etc and live more independent - i dont know anyone in the uk who was kicked out at 18? Moved for uni yes but that's different to being kicked out 😭
