Who comes to your mind at first thought

Fuck off is shakespearian in nature.

Probably just my personal experience but I've never heard profanity in the US as I've heard in Britain. I've overheard some next-level vulgarity sitting in pubs and they still manage to sound more sophisticated than Americans. 😊

Italians I hear, speak profanity with their arms and hands ;-)

I bet you don't like Taming Of The Shrew ;-)

Here in NJ, we don't use that much profanity; we just tell you things that make you wish you were dead... or never been born.

Profanity is mostly a middle-America and Alaska thing.

Oh I agree with you. Not the looking more sophisticated part though. It's the old fashioned pub decor; the dark heavy wooden bar, useless brass accesoires around anything suitable, dark atmosphere, everyone sitting on top of each in a small place without complaining gives you that 'exotic' but evolved Victorian impression. The pub thing is Irish in origin as far as I know. ?Not sure. Most Americans I know would die in there without the personal space.

Going back to profanity, yeah that's another language in its own right. LOL

In wild West saloons, I suspect you at least needed enough room to pull your gun out, unless it was already out and hidden under the table pointing at your card game partners ;-)
