8. It is true that, thanks to movies, English swear words are widely known.

Most Japanese, however, don't really understand when it is appropriate or not appropriate to use English swear words. The emotional impact is not apparent to them. That's why you'll see cute young girls wearing a T-shirt with FUCK YOU in big print across the front.
