Ooh interesting points, thanks for sharing. I very much agree that Dean's range of words is certainly limited by all the factors you point out and believably so. I am pretty sure if SN was on another network there would be a lot more swearing, which can easily be seen by the constant 'beeps' that censored Sam and Dean's language in 'Ghostfacers' where the writer's could play with it without reprimands.

Wow, that kind of astonishes me since I usually perceive the American language as way more colourful than others. Of course I am a non-native speaker, so that perception could be wrong, but still that's surprising.
On a side note: I was astonished how fast I accepted the term 'cocksucker' as an expression for practically every person on the planet after watching 3 seasons of Deadwood! LOL I am not sure if that's alarming or funny. ;)
