I believe you should suggest that exact wording to her. I'm sure hilarity would ensue.

"Most places"? Hmm. Well if I go to the movie theater to see Clone Wars with my son and I say that Yoda is a serious motherfucker, people would probably frown. If I'm at the grocery store picking out some spam, and I say that the goddamned price of food is going the the fucking roof, and it's really pissing me off, it might cause offense. If I sit in at the informal poker game that closes our annual block party, and flop a full house from the big blind, and my opponent tells me that I'm one lucky cocksucker (it really happened!), well, that's no problem, it's just all part of the banter of the game, and nobody takes offense.

The Cellar is more like hanging out in somebody's, umm, cellar (poker game optional), than it is going out to a store or a movie theater.

That's an interesting question.... I expect that the internet that people experience is highly individualistic. (And with no porn, because we know normal people don't look at that stuff.)
