Dea, u should know  Correct me if I am wrong. |
yes, I can attest to this.. my pleasure, actually 
And I am not being biased because I speak both, among others.. but here's my opinion.. and I will solely comment on slang and profanities in this case.. It would be wrong if I said that Russian is more lexicalized that Serbian, but Russian is definitely more witty, amusing.. whereas in Serbian you have only a handful of phrases which circulate in accordance to the situation
I love Russian

There's a linguistic theory that suggests that language absolutely determines how we think and influence our culture.. or vice versa
