yep, unless its the biggest company wide all hands, I can usually say fuck it or shit in the meetings. we’re in education, too 😀
In other news, the institute of cunning linguistists reports that their membership is going down.
No shit
Bollocks.
I’ve been in fairly sweary industries anyway, but I’d say its acceptable verbally, not written in emails etc.
Best behaviour if there are important visitors, but solely internal discussions are fine for swearing.
How many times have I got to tell you to stop fucking swearing????
Could have fucking told them that.
Just dont say fuck or cunt
no fucking shit，you cunts.
Sometimes only a good swear word/expletives laden rant will do to express succinctly about a person/situation. If l start swearing in Cantonese that’s when l am REALLY pissed off.
Fuck yeah!
nothing can communicate intent or feeling quite so well as breaking taboos or cultural norms in exclamation.
’bout fucking time we grew up about this.
Love the way we decide what words are offensive.
How anyone can be offended by a word is beyond me.
“Have you got that report ready for 12pm?”
“No I fucking haven’t you cock you only told me you needed it at cunting 10am”
HR meeting called at 12.30…
You think men swear and say outlandish shit? I did a rotation in an all female wiring shop in a factory in the early 1990s and the language used would make sailors blush. And that’s before they started discussing sex and any medical issues they were having.
I work in I.T. we pretty much just string swear words together with interspersed communication.
I’m a SWE for the civil service, and just had a colleague hauled up for dropping F-bombs in the break room. Amazing how a professional could have such poor awareness of what is appropriate for an office environment. The funny thing was, he actually tried to claim it was a ‘private conversation’ and went to HR about *me*, but no surprise, they told *him* off. My boss had my back too.
I read an article recently saying that more intelligent people swear but this provided me with a paradox because a lot of people are as thick as shit but swear constantly.
Swearing inventively, in the style of Malcolm Tucker, however, is an art form.
No fucking way!
In public I try to be clean, in the office I go all Malcolm Tucker!
I work in IT infrastructure – this is normal vernacular 🙂
“What the fuck has happened to server 42?”
“It’s shit the fucking bed, mate – I’m working on it”
“Fuck’s sake. ETA?”
“Shit’ll be fixed when it’s fixed. Hold ya fucking water.”
Apparently it’s acceptable for my neighbours to swear at their kids on a daily basis too, but then again….they are fucking idiots.
I’ve only ever worked jobs where I can swear openly with anyone and all the time. But I’ve never worked in an office, I think if anyone told me to stop swearing all the time I would tell them to go and find a different job.
Is there really a person called Dr Robbie Love ❤️? What the f*ck!
