Basic Trope: Swear words in a Bilingual Bonus.
- Straight: Bob tells Alice that she "scared the living mierdanote out of him".
- Exaggerated:
- Bob releases a whole Cluster F-Bomb in Spanish and various other languages.
- The work is for preschoolers and manages to get away with Bob saying a racial slur in another language. Yeah...
- Downplayed:
- It's not exactly another language, but the work is from America and has usage of words that are considered swears in England, Canada, and/or Australia such as "shite", "bugger", "wanker", or "bloody".
- The swear word in another language is something milder such as hell, damn, or crap.
- Justified:
- Bob knows Spanish (either from being from a Spanish-speaking country or simply being fluent in the language), and sometimes curses in Spanish out of habit.
- Bob is told not to swear for whatever reason, but was never told that he couldn't swear in another language.
- Inverted:
- Bob uses nice compliments in another language instead.
- For some reason, Bob says everything but the swear word in another language.
- Subverted: Bob is about to say "mierda", but suffers a Curse Cut Short.
- Double Subverted:
- He resumes his swear word later.
- He later says "¡Maldita sea!"note after dropping something on his foot.
- Parodied: Bob tells Alice "¡Chinga a tu madre, perra!"note Alice thinks Bob is flattering her.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Nobody swears in other languages.
- Enforced:
- To hide a swear word in this otherwise innocent show.
- To have Bob do a Precision F-Strike without actually making him use an English swear word.
- To add Bilingual Bonus.
- Lampshaded: “Just ’cause you say it in Spanish doesn’t mean it’s not a swear…”
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied:
- "Just say shit like the rest of us if you're gonna swear!"
- Bob is about to say "mierda", but Alice cuts him off to prevent him from finishing the word.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "They actually let Bob say mierda on a G-rated show? Man, the Moral Guardians must be asleep."
- Implied: What Bob said is unknown, but Alice says that he cursed her out in Spanish.
