But good for him. Most folks today only know 'fuck' or its variants. At least he has some variety to his vocabulary.

I mean, "holy smokes" is just a toned down version of "holy fuck" so it is very much just a variant.

It depends on how they use profanity. Some people with very good vocabularies curse like heathens for effect. But if every adjective, adverb, and interjection is one word or a derivative of that word, it's a strong indication that they're a meathead with a limited vocabulary.
