"I don't speak potty mouth", to me, means "I'm a fucking prissy hoitey toitey goody two shoes and won't respond to gutter language" not "I don't know what that phrase means".
In the case of DB, it means:
"I don't understand anything that was written but I recognise a swear word, so I'll pretend to take the moral high ground.
Not addressing the point raised removes the need for comprehension.
That means I can avoid people noticing that I can barely understand written english."

So far, this thread has made me aware of the need to improve in some areas, such as implementing spelling check and shortening sentences, etc.
Bloody hell - I hate having to agree with you.
But you are currently speaking too much sense for me to contradict you.
We all have something to learn from the most surprising of sources.

But it still requires minor changes?!?
It is ok for boy bands - they were bred to make key changes, but you are making impossible demands of me!
