It’s sharp, with an assaultive potency that words like “moron” and “idiot” lost sometime in the days of black-and-white TV.” (A Word Gone Wrong, Downes…

“Kisa, I don’t like this.” Ritsu said looking around the dark frat house they had just broken into. “What if someone's here?” “Ritsu, no one is here, stop being a baby!” Kisa snapped, over his friends constantly whining as they tiptoed through the dark room. “This is a bad idea, and it’s probably illegal now that I think about it.” “We already broke through the back door, we’ve passed the threshold of illegal activity.

As his speech goes on we notice the speech get increasingly sexual with Mab teaching Maidens how to have sex. Romeo has just said that it might not be wise to go to the Capulet party because he had a dream that things would go badly for him if he did.
