You don't want to pick up slang and swear is because the cool usage is likely super subtle in a way you will not understand. Really great perspective I got was being on the receiving instead of giving side of this. In Asia I remember meeting someone who learned English as a secondary language and was swearing in English in a playful way to be more colloquial with me, but I found it less endearing than I imagined and more worrisome. As in worrisome on the other person's behalf. I don't know why I felt that, but it's due to something along these lines.
