Maybe it's a cultural thing? I don't find the language as being particularly abrasive, only as having personality, and quite expressive. But then swearing and cursing seems to be much more accepted in most of Scandinavia than it is in much of the English speaking world. If the Swedish speaking minority of Finland is speaking anything like the good people of Åland, well, then it could be interpreted as trying to be quite polite. Never met any people who could get more obscenities into the most casual and every-day conversations then they can. It's really quite impressive.
