Myself, I view it not so much as a cultural clash, but rather an academic one. People sometimes just do not know how to describe the phenomena which perplex, enrage, disturb and perturb them so, and the frustration is such that they result to the vulgar form, which .. after all .. is as you say, a fairly universally understood level of concourse and therefore has its appropriate applicability to the conversation, but naturally - since all language is a system of power and control - with the aforementioned risks of offense. Those who choose to react in offense, and those who choose to see the language being used in light of the subject, may well be the end of the conversation. But, this is a language discussion, no? I myself find SQL elegant, whereas compared to the NoSQL DSL's that shizzle the newschool nizzle, shits fucked yo.
