For some reason this has made me lol so much. Simple and stupid. And love how Jeff just fucks off out of frame getting worse at it.

I've had a few house mates from Japan and Taiwan. They always had a weird issue overemphasising and misusing English swear words. I had to teach them how to swear properly so they didn't sound like psychos.

I'll never forget, "Are you fucking kid me?!"

I was in stitches. "Bro, it's "kidding" and you emphasise that, not the "fucking" part. Like this... Are you fucking kidding me?"

I love the way Russians carry over their curse-as-punctuation into English. I don't know russian enough to really describe what's going on that well, but they usually toss the blayt on the end of a sentence, but it feels different than how we do in English. Like, if we say 'this fucking guy' it's very different than 'this guy, fuck!' There's a lot more anger to it, right? But you can catch Russians saying in english 'this guy, fucking...' when they want to convey the feeling of 'this fucking guy.' I love it every time I catch it.
