Colorful Language?

"For years flying has been the preserve of rich fuckers. Now everyone can afford to fly."

This was a quote from a CEO of an airline.This wouldnt have been termed as "colorful" if a layman said it. It would have been called vulgar. Nonetheless, with so many ass-lickers in the planet, they would term it as "coloful".

O'Leary makes colourful and extravagant use of the English language

When a layman speaks something like this, I am sure it will not be called as "Colorful" language!!

Have a look at some of these quotes by Michael O'Leary, the CEO of RyanAir.

n the slightly wider Airbus A320 fuselage: Ive heard a lot of horseshit about a wider fuselage. I've yet in 15 years in this industry to meet one passenger who booked his ticket based on that. The seats have been wide enough and the aisles have been wide enough for passengers

On rivalry with British Airways: "There's too much 'we really admire our competitors'. All bollocks. Everyone wants to kick the shit out of everyone else. We want to beat the crap out of BA. They mean to kick the crap out of us."

My favorite was this :-

"It feels like Laurel and bloody Hardy are working at the Department of Transport coming up with these security measures."
