Loosely related anegdote: Not so long ago I heard of a study here in Poland (we curse like sailors) about which parts of society swear the most. The first group were the uneducated, bottom class workers, etc., just because they just don't know better how to express themselves. Obvious, right? At this point you think it will decrease linearally, but as it turns out, the second most cursing group were the well educated, people in position, all sorts of groups you would 'expect better', yet they are confident enough about their intelligence and vocabulary they don't feel the need to apply artificial boundaries around their means of expression. The ones who curse the least are the ones in between - because they are the ones who care enough to pretend and want to separate themselves from the lower classes - a matter of being paranoid about their social perception supposedly originating from insecurity. It's beyond me why people expect Linus to beat around the bushes like he were on an audition with the queen when he's not in a position to care enough to bend over third party social standards.
