A how-to-swear video would be entertaining, but I suspect it would not meet their criteria.
I'd be fascinated by one that did, though. At least, it seems plausible that there's interesting cognitive structure underlying the common linguistic and emotional aspects of swearing (the culture-bound specifics, less so).
It's an old joke that the first and most frequent thing a kid checks on a dictionary are the swear words.
On Wikipedia, the phaenomen remains but is extended to writing.
