Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': A swear word is said loudly.
2* '''Straight''': Charlie gets angry after finding out that the BigBad has kidnapped his family, and very loudly exclaims "SHIT!"
3* '''Exaggerated''': Charlie [[AgonyOfTheFeet drops something on his foot]] and screams a swear word so loudly that it can be heard from the other side of the world.
4* '''Downplayed''': Charlie says "Dammit!" in a louder tone than normal.
5* '''Justified''':
6** Charlie was at his breaking point.
7** Charlie already [[SirSwearsaLot swears constantly]].
8* '''Inverted''': Charlie [[OhCrap whispers]] "shit" after finding out that the BigBad has caught him.
9* '''Subverted''':
10** Charlie is about to swear, but is interrupted either by himself or someone else.
11** CurseCutShort
12* '''Double Subverted''': And then he actually does yell a swear word later.
13* '''Parodied''': Charlie yells his swear word so loudly, that it's still very audible to someone on the other side of the world.
14* '''Averted''': Nobody yells swear words.
15* '''Enforced''': To make good use of a PrecisionFStrike.
16* '''Lampshaded''': Immediately after Charlie drops the Atomic F-Bomb, another character comments that this outburst is extremely out of character for him, [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating or for the tone]] [[BreakingTheFourthWall of the movie in general.]]
17* '''Invoked''': Most often found in a parody or black comedy setting. Charlie is devastated / angry / just stubbed his toe very badly etc. A GenreSavvy character points out that this would be a very appropriate time for an F-Bomb. From there, Charlie may either defy the invocation (though something else could happen immediately afterwards that double subverts this), or play it straight.
18* '''Exploited''': Charlie curses very loud in order to distract the [[{{Mooks}} mooks]] that held him captive.
19* '''Defied''': Charlie appears to be about to yell a swear word, but instead opts for a [[ThisisGonnaSuck quiet]] "damn".
20* '''Discussed''': While Atomic F-Bombs are usually not treated any differently than normal swearing in-universe, in this particular setting, Charlie has an acknowledged tendency to swear very loudly when he is upset. This is discussed by the characters at some point during the film.
21* '''Implied''':
22** The scene where Charlie swears was [[CurseCutShort cut off]] or [[SoundEffectBleep censored]] in some way, but Alice and Bob comment that he [[NarrativeProfanityFilter "said the loudest swear word they've ever heard"]].
23** After the [[SoundEffectBleep loud claxon]], Alice can be seen heading for Charlie with [[SoapPunishment the soap ready]].
