Huh, that sounds like a lot of fun... As a native Russian speaker, I guess I just take some things for granted, like the ability to call poop poop.

I was actually really surprised that a lot of the people I meet ask me to swear in Russian. I mean, it seems a little strange, because frankly, are you going to use this new vocabulary in a regular conversation? I doubt it.

Oh well.

It's not about ever using it, it's knowing you could swear at someone in a situation where you really shouldn't and they'd have no idea that you have.

This. And I'd also violently curse at my roommate in public situations, and she'd be super embarrassed and nobody else would know what was happening. It's great!!
