Bad language
Lately, I have a habit to watch movies in English and I noticed how often actors use bad words. Russian people use it often as well. Especially not intelligent and educated people do. But in Russian movies, bad words are used not as often as they are used in the US movies. I can guess the reason is that English bad words sound not as rud as Russian ones do. Or there might be another reason. Censorship can work harder in Russia than in the US.
It would be interesting to know about it from native English speakers...

I think over the last 30 years English rude words have become so commonly used that they have lost most of their emotional impact on people. If you watch films set before the 1960's, you wont hear many bad words at all. I think it's all part of a rebellious culture / the birth of teenage culture.
Even recently some of the rudest English words like n****r and c**t have become more commonly used in pop music, I think this really influences how commonly people use such bad words on a daily basis. This is just my opinion ahaha but I hope you can understand!
