Julia Louis-Dreyfus turns the air blue talking about 'Veep' and its impact on her, um, vocabulary

I think the air just turned blue.

Anyone who's ever watched an episode of Veep will know that it's absolutely riddled with deliciously foul language.

And it appears that Selina Meyer's love of swearing has rubbed off on Julia Louis-Dreyfus in real life.

"We use really intensely foul language on Veep, there's a lot of swearing and I've gotten quite used to that," Louis-Dreyfus told Seth Meyers. "I've gotten very used to using that language and I have to check myself because most people, of course, aren't used to that.

"So, I'm like, you know, 'Can I have some more of that motherfucking, cock-sucking maple syrup?'"

I think the air just turned blue.
