“Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one’s opinions and ideas.
The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.”

“Free speech” does not legally include verbal assault of anyone.

In the [bizarre] example you used, you would be solely responsible for any reaction to an overtly rude utterance.
