and Motherfucker is another... I find it so cute when cursing as a term of endearment. It's even more cute because they aren't used to using it that way. I think because they know it as a curse and use in certain situations and love the way it sounds when using it differently.

Another thought--- maybe it's an East Coast thing? American thing? an immature thing?

Weird. That's always been a big turnoff for me. Hearing a Khmer girl swear like a sailor in a foreign language never impressed me or made me think it was cute. A bit like how foreigners think it's funny to say "choy kdouille" or "choy maey". 99% of Khmers aren't too impressed when they hear a foreigner speak like that. It's one thing as an inside joke between two people in the privacy of their home, but out in public it's cringeworthy, especially when it becomes a habit and apparent that the person (Khmer or foreign) knows only swear words in the foreign tongue.
