First, the German sense of humor is different (or, as the English jokingly
suggest, non-existent).
Second, swearing is one of the most difficult aspects of any language;
getting it right requires years of immersion in the culture. Add to that
the fact that each and every English-speaking country has different
mores and you'll realize that, as a non-native speaker, you should
refrain from swearing. There are exceptions, but neither Robin nor
Felix are amongst them. They'd be far more effective if they would
vituperate a tad less.
