Do you have any idea how much I curse in real life? Like, none. My parents were super-strict about such things growing up and *never* cursed themselves and it always seemed really stupid to me besides. Like, people didn't have the vocabulary to say what they really wanted to so they just put in expletives instead. And all of that has held over for me today. I have to force myself to say "ass." I wince a little inside when I do it.
But this is . . . oddly liberating. You read enough of them and something about the rhythm of it clicks. And it's just so obviously over the top and inappropriate that I have to love it. It's like writing parody obscene poetry.
