I go with the first thing that pops into my head. I had just read Vicky Loebel's The Early Days Affair (http://www.loebelclark.com/FanfictionHub/EarlyDays.htm) which has this scene: The man was begging for a fight and Illya felt a strong urge to oblige him. Height and weight were not always an advantage in these matters—something he rather suspected Paul Matthews had yet to learn. Still…in three and a half years, he had never raised a hand against a fellow U.N.C.L.E. agent.
He tried the thought again in French. In three and a half years, I have never raised a hand against a fellow U.N.C.L.E. agent.
Then in Russian. Then in German. When he ran out of languages, someone was going to get hurt.

so the idea of Illya cursing was in my mind.
