I can see that as I comprehend English more, tend to start being more offencive in it. 8 years ago I started Italian and now I know a deal of swear words, but not sure if I can produce them when, say, an Italian drops a thing on my foot. By the moment I can say something offencive, the peron will have 1-2 seconds to apologise.
I'd say new languages really disarm you. I can barely argue in Spanish, least to say an offencive word (although I've seen the famous Tano Pasman, el hincha del River), and not at all in Portugese.
Also, isn't it curious: we all know a bunch of swear words in our languages. We get to know them at early age, probably as soon as we have a need for them. But it takes years to get exposed to obscenities in a foreign language: books don't print them. Dictionaries often omit them. Radio and podcats also deliver correct content.
