This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Breaking Point Swearing is when a character suddenly swears in an uncharacteristically strong manner, or when a swear is unexpectedly used in a work with mild language. It's usually intended to show that shit just got real serious. Another variant is when a movie limits its swearing-in order to keep from getting an R rating, and so is forced to place it very strategically. If a movie uses the F word more than two or three times or in a sexual or aggressive way, it can easily get an R rating. If it's used up to two or three times, each in a non-sexual context, it usually stays PG-13 so long as it lacks any other content that would warrant an R rating. (Similarly, on television, a single F word guarantees at least a TV-14 L rating, and multiple uses are very likely to bump the rating up to TV-MA L.) As such, the writers will only have the characters curse when it actually means something. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Also, when Unusual Euphemism is normally in play in a work, having "real" oaths appear can have the same effect. Due to the nature of language, this trope is prone to Values Dissonance about what words are appropriate. "Bloody", "cunt", "ass" and "twat", just to name a few words, have very different connotations on the two sides of the Atlantic — and that's just the differences within a single language. Although like many other English words, the word "fucking" exists with only a minor variation in German ("ficken"), it's only used as a verb and almost never as a curse word. The word "Scheiße" ("shit") and its variations are almost always used in exactly the same way as the word "fuck" in English. In many European countries, swearing is rarely considered an issue when it comes to film ratings — for example, Silver Linings Playbook, which has about seven dozen F words, was rated "tous publics" (equivalent to the MPAA's "G") in France, and children as young as six could watch it in the Netherlands. The same can't be said about video games, however. In Europe, a single F-word can easily result in a PEGI 16 rating. In fact, the only words allowed in the PEGI 12 and lower categories are just mild swears like "hell" and "damn" (sometimes, however, the word "shit" can appear in 12-rated games). Similarly, in the United States, the F word is only known to have appeared in games with an M rating. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })In some languages, however, expletives do not actually exist or are so uncommonly used and/or offensive that they are not allowed in the media. Seemingly equivalent words may be used similarly, but without the impact of an actual expletive (for example, although the Japanese word kuso is translated as "shit", its profanity level is more along the lines of "crud" and is often used in children's shows by child characters without raising alarm). These languages may have levels of politeness which serve the same purpose (again, Japanese), and translations often take advantage of the dub/sub language's expletives to give the same feeling. For subtitles, this crosses over into Spice Up the Subtitles, unless the expletive used by the translator actually is said in the original dialogue, as is known to happen. Note that when using this trope in the context of the quote, DON'T attach it to every single time said quote contains "fuck", "shit", etc. This trope IS applicable if it's for a case of unusually strong swearing or of the party that uttered the quote isn't exactly known to be dirty-mouthed. This trope is an intersection of Sophisticated as Hell and Conservation of Ninjutsu; related to O.O.C. Is Serious Business. May overlap with Atomic F-Bomb for extra emphasis. Compare Minor Insult Meltdown, Quote Swear Unquote, This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!. Contrast with the Cluster F-Bomb and Gosh Dang It to Heck!, although it can overlap with the latter if the work in question usually doesn't even contain mild profanity. Due to the nature of the trope, the following examples will contain swearing. Please don't be a fucking Bluenose Bowdleriser. |

Marge Simpson is one of the least profane characters in The Simpsons—and yet, one of her lines in the climax of The Simpsons Movie is "SOMEBODY THROW THE GODDAMN BOMB!" They even acknowledge this in commentaries, noting how the line seems to have more impact because Marge is the one saying it. | |

Sleeping Beauty: "Now you shall deal with me, o' prince, and all the powers of HELL!" For bonus points, it heralds one of the most famous One-Winged Angel scenes in all of cinema: Maleficent transforming into a dragon. This was made in The '50s, and it would be literally decades before a second invocation of "Hell" would appear in a Disney animated feature. | |

Doonesbury: The author pushed to allow B.D. to swear ("SON OF A BITCH!") when he wakes up after losing a leg in Iraq. This is significant because newspaper comics have extremely strict clamps on their subject matter. A few papers dropped the strip. Most simply edited the line. A few kept it as-is, with the paper's editor stating it was justified. Melissa saying "That's sergeant bitch to you", which seems to just be for the sake of the punchline. |

Calvin and Hobbes: The comic came close to it in a 1986 strip: The only time there is actually a curse spoken in the strip is also 1986, whereupon seeing that "Be" only got him two points in Scrabble, Calvin states "2 POINTS? IS THAT @#$% ALL?"note possible if "_E", with the blank used for a B, gets played on a double word score space, which was just done to have Hobbes say "My, this game does teach new words!". |

In Lucha Underground's second season, Sexy Star had a long, brutal match with Mariposa which could only be ended by one of them saying "No Mas". Near the end, the referee puts the microphone up to Sexy Star, who instead of saying 'No Mas', loudly screams "Fuck You! Fuck You Mariposa!!" This was surprising because the word hadn't been used on the show before, and Sexy Star hadn't spoken much English before then. | |

Chuggaaconroy usually keeps his commentary family-friendly outside of The Runaway Guys, which makes the few times he's swore on his solo channel since his early LPs stand out. In episode 56 of Chugga's Ōkamiden playthrough, Kurow says there's "Lots of treasure in here," to which Chugga replies: During the harp minigame in episode 30 of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. In a more serious example, he drops two in rapid succession in Episode 131 of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, when going over story of Haze: In that same playthrough in Episode 187 when talking about his Dad and how he relates to Lora he says this: From the Splatoon 2 LP, Emile enthusiastically reads Pearl's old song "#$@%* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin" as "SHIT Dudes Be FUCKIN' Sleeping!" No Sound-Effect Bleep here. In Episode 28 of the Paper Mario redux, when a Shy Guy steals Tayce T.'s frying pan: In Episode 43 of the same LP, when using the Snowman Doll on Lava Piranha: Chugga lets loose multiple uncensored f-bombs when tearing apart Paper Mario: Sticker Star in his multi-part video essay "Chugga Sticks It to Sticker Star". |

The Transformers: The Movie: This gets pulled off by Spike Witwicky. After an attempt to destroy Unicron with a moon bomb fails, Spike makes explicit his surprise by exclaiming, "It isn't even dented! Oh SHIT, what are we gonna do now?!". The fact that this was based off a cartoon for all ages makes it all the more surprising. Some versions have the line removed. This became so prevalent that on one Transformers DVD, this particular moment is titled "Swear"! Later on in the film, Ultra Magnus tries to open the Matrix to defeat Galvatron and his Decepticon army. He fails, letting off a growl of "Open! Damn it, OPEN!" Unlike the above, this one was retained on all video prints. |

In the film version of When the Wind Blows, Jim (who until that point hasn't said anything stronger than "blimey") calls Hilda a "stupid bitch" when she casually announces that she's going outside to get the washing in moments after a warning of an impending nuclear strike against Britain is broadcast over the radio. This shows how Jim is panicking because they have only three minutes to get into their improvised shelter and Hilda doesn't seem to be taking the warning seriously; he eventually has to physically drag her into the shelter. note In the comic, Jim calls Hilda a "stupid fool". | |
