Craig,
to my unmitigated eye of a foreigner and an outsider it seems that this
rather obvious language difference lies more in the realm of the subdued
cultural tradition heavily influenced by the religiousnesses of the
majority of the population rather than in the scarcity of its
vocabulary. Unlike their American counterparts the Europeans in general
are much bolder in expressions and would employ acid borderline
blasphemous metaphors with little if any hesitation.
