Crude language and being aspie?

Hi as you probably knew I'm Polish, in Poland and had Asperger, i'm belong to Catholic Christian prayer group? We meet from time to time? do Debate on Bible and go to holy mass together? On of my fellow parishioner a woman about my age, who works as a secretary in some engineering company or startup, I do not remember, she complained that those businessmen and the engineers who work there are terribly cursing, every second word is "KURWA" which is Polish equivalent of English F word ;-)

She complained that all boys and guys regardless their early teens or senior elderly man respected in their profession use that word like it was improve their manliness :-)

On other hand on one Polish forum menant for Autistic individual and their parents and partners one Mom complained that her son use Kurwa that our crude word, every time he got upset, or do something wrong, i replayed that normal teenage behavior that NT kids and adults do the same, but that woman complained that in normal situation parents scold kid or even spank him/her, but she is happy that her kid maintain any verbal communication whatsoever, because some aspies can not speak at all, ot not talk at all if we feel offended :-)

So i said that she can tell son to switch from Kurwa to English F word to practice beautiful shakespearean English language, MERDE! to practice language of Balzac or Scheiße to practice language of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, she replied that typical Aspie sense of humor xD

Aspie teens and children are less involved with peers then are NT kids. So they don't pick up peer driven habits like..smoking cigarettes, and cussing, as often as NT kids do. Or that's my take on it.

Using foreign cuss words is one idea. Years ago I hit upon the opposite idea: using a foreign proper name (not cuss word) that SOUNDS like cuss words in my own English language. Went through a phase of saying "OHhhh....Schostakovich!" because the name of the father and son pair of Russian classical composers sounds like a mash-up of "s**t" and "son of a b***h".

I have heard a number of Spanish tennis players (not Rafael, though) use the Spanish word "Joder," their equivalent of the "F" word.

I think the Irish were creative and somehow arrived at the more socially acceptable word Feck.

Overheard two classmates talking about how our HS Spanish teacher, a funny little old guy from Bolivia, would mutter "Miercoles...Miercoles...Miercoles" to himself which means "Wednesday,Wednesday, Wednesday".

One of the classmate guys explained to other that "Wednesday" sounds like the Spanish equivalent of our S word, so its like an American saying "shoot", or "shucks".

Back when I was teaching, we all found words to use to replace the naughty ones when in class. District maintained an official list of salty language we couldn’t use! I borrowed ‘smeg’ from a British TV show, and ‘frak’ from an American. We had a teacher named Frick on staff, so that one came off the bad list into popular rotation. Both staff and students would say things like ‘What the Mrs. Frick are you doing?’

The Irish also used the word "pud" as a slang for the penis, which doesn't sound as offensive as some American slang words for that part of the body.

I swear impulsively when I get really frustrated or upset with something. It annoys my father - he will say "Stop swearing!" and I will respond "I can't!" I don't think it's considered an Aspie trait, but rather due to having a bit of Tourettes as a comorbid.

Yeah, I read that.. but I don't have that problem. I'm sure most of the time my parents would appreciate if I stopped talking more. :P It's under better control now, but I have the ADHD hyperactivity trait of excessive talking. It's under it's best control whenever I smoke a bit of weed - then it's waaaaay easier to just be quiet vs. impulsively talk about something.

The German word, "scheisse" is more an expression of shock than anger. I remember seeing a German video about people testing mattresses and a woman said that word as an expression of shock and disbelief. She was smiling when she said it.
