* The USAAF B-17E bomber named ''Honi Kuu Okole'' at the Pacific theater in World War Two. [[note]]Hawaiian langiage for "Kiss My Ass"[[/note]]

** Similarly, Rincewind the LoveableCoward... er, Wizzard, is known to have a command of Latatian (Latin to us Roundworlders), and once when urged to come up with a battle cry, used "Stercus, Stercus, Stercus, Morituri Sum", or "Shit, shit, shit, I'm gonna die."

** Pretty much the same applies to their neighbours the Serbs: "šit" and "fak" (shit and fuck as transcribed phonetically) are frequently thrown around by the local youth, and ''nobody'' considers these words rude. The local equivalent, "jebati" is however a much stronger curse, though nowhere as strong as "mamu ti jebem" ("f*ck your mother in the c*nt") or "mrš u pičku materinu" ("go back up your mom's c*nt" - which literally means ''' unborn yourself''').

* WebVideo/LifeOfBoris: Boris' first language isn't English, therefore he's prone to cussing in Russian while speaking to viewers in English. A lot.

* ''Fanfic/IveGotYourBack'': When Pearl cleaned an injury, it's [[NarrativeProfanityFilter mentioned]] that Marina began cursing in her native tongue. The pain was so bad that [[PrecisionFStrike even Marina cursed]] for once.

* In the western versions of the first two ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' games, Wario exclaims [[GratuitousGerman "SO EIN MIST!"]] (roughly "OhCrap") when something bad happens to him. The Japanese versions simply had him (and Luigi) say "Oh my god!" in the same situations.

* In ''VisualNovel/AviaryAttorney'', one can encounter such obsceneties as "merde" and "fils de pute" instead of "shit" and "son of a bitch". Which is somewhat strange, considering that the events take place in Paris and the characters are supposed to speak French the whole time.

* ''VideoGame/ParadiseKiller'' has [[LadoyOfWar Grand Marshall Akiko 14]], who spends a large portion of the game insulting [[GentlemanDetective Lady Love Dies]] in Romanian.

* ''LetsPlay/KizunaAi'': Kizuna will sometimes start swearing in English, usually "Oh my god!" or similar, during games. Usually it's played for laughs due to the dissonance between such language and her usual demeanor as TheCutie. Perhaps her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2yrESuyW0E most famous moment]] was a ClusterFBomb when playing ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7'', which became a big [[MemeticMutation meme among her fans]]:

* "Vaffanculo" is also used by Rizzo in ''Theatre/{{Grease}}'' in the song "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee".

* Lt. Surge, an American character, cursed in English in both ''Manga/PokemonZensho'' and the Japanese version of the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime, the latter of which gave him a loud "Goddamn!"

* As Music/{{Eminem}} was not able to do his [[MemeticHandGesture signature]] [[FlippingTheBird raised middle finger]] on most of his TV appearances, he liked to substitute it with the British obscene VSign - not considered obscene in America, but just as rude in the Commonwealth. On his British TV appearances, where he couldn't do either, he would substitute it sometimes with the metal horns, instead.

* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': Subverted when Sette calls a pair of war criminals trying to rape her friends by a slur for them in Tainish, it's translated and shown in brackets. The author later confirmed that she yelled [["https://unsoundedcomic.tumblr.com/post/661901884847767552/how-is-pissmop-said-in-tainish Padopa!"]] at the soldiers in their native language rather than "Pissmop" as shown.
