Robo-Cursing

This. Doesn't matter what your duty code is or where you work, you will learn some interesting and new ways of swearing.
Nssheepster:
A) I do wanna know what QWERTY means someday. That's really funny.
B) Perhaps it's more in the roots of language. Simply because she can't feel it herself doesn't mean she can't use the expression, right? A word is a just a sound with an agreed upon meaning. I can't say as I have had my poo make nuggets before, but I get the meaning just fine, so it can be used. Maybe not in polite society, but it can be used.
C) I can also see May using robot cuss words to cuss someone out, and seeing them confused instead of offended. I'm 100% certain that May is capable of learning human cuss words just to cuss out and offend humans properly, especially if that occurred. Pintsize also has a bit of a mouth, so perhaps AIs simply get a FULL language dictionary, and that's including cuss words and slang.
Is it cold in here?:
Well taken point. If the object is to shock the listener rather than express her emotional state then it makes sense for her to use carbon-based human profanity.
edited to remove a possible implication that AnthroPCs are not people

I hope so. Otherwise their communication with humans would become quite error-prone. Programming sentient AIs to be the butt of unintentional comedy would be rather unethical. "I'm sorry, but my chassis lacks the anatomical properties for the act you suggested" should never have to be said in earnest bewilderment.

I'm sure that May and Pintsize have both thought of making chassis that actually *can* fuck themselves.
