Astute readers would know that I'm a big fan of Hugh Macleod's work. They might also realise that Hugh holds no reservations to explicit language.
Readers will also notice that I try to keep my language clean on this site.
That's for a good reason: swearing is a skill, one that I haven't mastered to the level needed for public dissemination. 
 Being in New York, I bet Hugh got all the swearing practice he needed for a lifetime.
Until then, don't expect the little man in my scribbles to start dropping an F-bomb every 2nd sentence. But watch out, and behold the power of his words when he finally does.
