I grew up in a culture where “fuck you” is actually a fairly important and common part of communication, and removing it results in the sort of language you’d use towards 10 year olds.
This culture sounds interesting.
(I’ve wondered how much more productive things could be if “Shut up” was a part of language that everyone used and it wasn’t rude.)
I don’t think taking two words for this is much more productive then the NVC-ish “I’m bored, can we please switch the subject?”
Simply communication based on the need seems to be a lot more productive then the standard solution of thinking about whether something is polite/rude.

Thanks for the NVC example.
