Great story! The specificity adds a lot of impact.

Now ah, having been afloat in the Bering for 2 years, one does not want to be around me when, for example, I am trying to start a recalcitrant lawn mower lest one's ears be scoured by invectives never imagined, but at least I have the probity to not use "pissed off" in a straight news story. While the tsunami of cuss words into the news may be unnoticed by the purple-hair, tattooed nose-ring layabouts, such verbiage in print outside of Hunter Thompson tomes does not lend credence.
