Mar 7, 2010 - I have a Tibetan friend who was raised in India but now lives in Beijing. He speaks fluent Hindi, Tibetan, Mandarin, and English as well as a smattering of other tongues, but only swears in English (often while speaking a different language). English profanity is beautiful. It has a certain weight, rhythm, and cadence to it.
