* Sam Vimes in \'\'Discworld/MenAtArms\'\' screams, \"[I\'m] the LAW, you SONS of BITCHES!\" while he\'s being possessed by [[spoiler: the gonne.]]
** Sam has another one in Jingo: \"Guards are civilians, you inbred streak of piss!\"
*** We get it again a few pages later, except this time he\'s mumbling it in shock, scarcely believing he said it -- the person he said it to was a very high ranking member of the city and, if I remember correctly, he said it in front of the very, very imposing assassin leader of the city.
** The Discworld books are pretty good at precision swearing, actually. When someone says \"Oh, bugger,\" they really mean it.
*** Unless it\'s Foul Ol\' Ron.
** [[CanisLatinicus Latatian]] example in \'\'Discworld/InterestingTimes\'\'. \"Stercus, stercus, stercus, moritorus sum!\" (\"Shit, shit, shit, I\'m about to die!

Vimes uses language of about that level all the time; his EstablishingCharacterMoment in \'\'Literature/GuardsGuards\'\' is muttering that the city is a bitch.

And I don\'t think \'\'repeated\'\' use of the word \"shit\" qualifies as \"precision\" in any event, but particularly not when it\'s the character\'s CatchPhrase.

And

* The title of \'\'Literature/GoTheFuckToSleep\'\'.
** And its sequel, \'\'[[http://www.amazon.com/You-Have-F-g-Eat/dp/1617753785 You Have To Fucking Eat.]]\'\'

Since the \'\'whole point\'\' of the books are to be a ClusterFBomb.

Deleted the StevenUniverse example because it was an issue of betrayal of trust between friends and allies, especially considering something as sacred and intimate as fusion. Jasper had outed her own hypocrisy by demanding Lapis Lazuli fuse with her, and was one of their enemies, so it was to be expected that Garnet would simply respond in amusement, if only to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Jasper\'s fate]].

Whoops.
