Lalochezia: The emotional relief gained from using abusive or profane language.
Even though Loki has dozens, hundreds, thousands of languages at his disposal, Thor would like to believe that he knows only the useful words in any given language. Namely, curse words and insults, with the occasional phrase, such as "Where is the bathroom?" or "Another!" or "Please feed me." Thor, all in all, was quite proud of his grasp of languages.
"You really ought not to swear in front of our son," Loki informs Thor one afternoon, as Thor is using Mjolnir to hammer together a new play structure for Modi. He had been careless, and Mjolnir - just the slightest bit insulted at being used like a common hammer - had banged him right on the thumb. Thor had muttered several colourful choice words that would have made even the most seasoned sailor proud. "Where did you learn all of these words, anyway?"
Thor pops his thumb into his mouth, trying to suck away the hurt, and he could swear Mjolnir was cackling to herself from her position on the floor. Modi wriggles out of Loki's lap, toddles over to Mjolnir, and sits down beside her, patting at her head and glaring accusingly at his papa, as if the accident in question had been all his fault. Which, of course it was, but Thor was better off not admitting that to anyone.
"I...am not actually sure," Thor admits, looking at Loki. "I've visited Midgard many times."
"And clearly you have not made friends with the choicest company," Loki sniffs, examining his hands and producing a nail file from his inner robes. "You barbarian."
"I will have you know that Bluebeard was a fine fellow, a graceful warrior," Thor says, and Loki just sighs, rolls his eyes, and goes back to filing his nails.
