Where I'm from, "righteous" means both "morally upright" and "amazing; excellent", but you're not gonna find that last one in a dictionary. A while ago, I talked to someone who understood the word as the first meaning, but not the second.
I've also had to tell people what some of the swear words I'm used to hearing mean. [Nothing like telling your seven-foot-tall robot friend about swearing, right?] And they've got swear words that I don't get either.
I guess the point of this is: what's slang like in your world? What's swearing like in your world? Would you know what I was talking about if I said fuck or asshole, or would we have to have a very awkward talk about that?
[A pause, then:] I'd also love to hear a sample, if you've got some.

[Yes, this is the best way to make friends.]
"Talking out of their ass" is another new one. Everything really does seem to revolve around the lower half of a human, doesn't it?

See, you're getting it now. [A pause.] Maybe don't tell Cassian or—Tanith I taught you that. [Jyn, she'd almost said.]
Yeah, I guess it's because talking about the lower half of a human, and what you can do with it, is generally considered a little rude. So there's a lot of rude words that are about that very thing. Except "tits", I guess, those belong to the top half of a human.

[Seriously, who else would have, that he spends enough time with.]
I've come to the conclusion I don't think I'll ever understand why "what you can do with it" is considered rude. It's part of organic existence, and something most experience at some point.
[Which could explain why he bought a lot of NSFW doujinshi at Fanport. It's fascinating,
in it's own way.]
What are "tits"?
