Summary/Abstract: The films by the Polish director Patryk Vega: PitBull (2005), Pitbull. Nowe porządki (2016) and Pitbull. Niebezpieczne kobiety (2016) provoke a reflection on the devulgarization of the language spoken by movie characters. It appears that the profanities formulated by the protagonists can replace numerous verbs. While the analyzed material fits into the rouge cinema, most of the curse words used do not apply to the sphere of criminal offenses. Instead, the obscenities primarily describe everyday activities, such as moving around or eating. The verbal aggression featured in the movies of the Polish director thus puts the audience at risk of adopting bad language habits.
