I would never use a service like this with such terrible language. I understand trying to give the service a personality but this is just dumb.

I do wonder sometimes how such choices pan out in terms of users won (hey, they talk like me!) vs. lost (well, not showing this one to my boss).
~~Maybe~~ I'm immature but it made me smile.
It should be a config option - "colorful language" vs "boring speak".
I don't think the language on the homepage is necessary either. Trying a bit too hard. Otherwise looks good!
