It's not really gratuitous so much as realistic. The director talks about it in his commentary, and he says that, okay, these are two Irish boys (okay, men, but who's counting) who grew up in the slums with a drunk for a mother. They go around killing people. Are they really going to talk like choir boys? Their words match who they are, and it makes it all just that much more realistic.
But if it really does bother you, you might be wincing throughout the whole thing. :(
