Thomas Rogers Muyunga Mukasa on the subject of "American swear words!"

Love the American!

When the American swears;
and not lift a finger,
but that downright yelling,
you know the; "son of a bitch!" kind,
just listen and watch,
it could have been a glitch,
or a finger nipped by a latch,
but be assured that is muttering!

When the American swears;
and not lift a finger,
nor raise a shaking fist,
nor be crimson, jaw-biting or foaming,
just know it is a banter,
her's or his way of affirming,
that indeed ' a car swiftly sped by,'
or just a bit of ' didly dadly.'

When the American swears;
and lifts a finger,
especially the middle one,
shakes an uplifted fist,
spits and stomps about,
or yells this or that profanity,
don't be anywhere near that knuckle,
dodge that hot missile of a gob!

When the American swears;
alluding to that hind part,
then there is an apt remark,
one attributed to mothers?
may mean you should keep your distance,
that other one about a bull,
may also be an expression of irritability or surprise,
depending on how you rubbed the American!
