Quentin Tarantino's characters do have quite the flair for using profanity. Those parts given to Samuel L. Jackson in particular always have such artful phrasing that at times it's arguably poetic.
It's a case study in how a few words have wildly different meanings and implications depending on the context they're used in and how they're applied to the topic at hand. Even the delivery has a huge impact on their meaning.
There's a big gulf between someone who just drops f-bombs for effect and someone who's using their familiar language to convey emotion and meaning that other words cannot possibly hope to measure up to.
