    He's not swearing. The reason you're hearing the swearing is because you've been conditioned to hear it - that's the beauty of innuendo. He's saying "Go for coffe," instead of "Go for coffee." He's not saying what you hear, and I doubt that a child with no predisposition to the obscenity would catch on.

    • @josieposie9969
      @josieposie9969 5 років тому

      @Eros Delorenzi Italians always refer to it as dialects rather than languages and I say this because your schools do not educate their students in these so-called languages, but the official Italian language spoken which all children are educated in.
