What critics say:
„The usual vulgar verbal tics are somehow specific to certain generations that can’t keep “a clean tongue” when they are in relaxed/ tense circumstances. When “translating” them, you can say that they are mere words; they often work as plain interjections without semantic value – they become tics or prop-words that add no meaning, but only expressive quality to the dialogue. They bring flexibility and authenticity to the discourse. Underneath the dialogues, you can feel and see the tone and the expression in each of the actors’ eyes, you can feel their position in relation to the experience they are about to tell.” – Iulia Voicu, AaRC
