It's quite interesting to me how the seriousness of words varies across the atlantic. My wife thought "bloody hell" to us Brits was the worst thing we could say. I soon educated her. And the C word, although a bad word in the UK seems to be a major taboo in the US, at least in Indiana. Back in Tunbridge Wells, the F word was dropped in every third word, but over here, it's not used as much, and so has regained it's power. And in addition to Mahray's advice, try working in a secondary school for a while. Within hours your language becomes remarkably dirty. AND finally. Wasn't Piddle one of the firemen in Trumpton?
