I really find the use of NSWF to describe a sign that says dont kill a kid today is super strange. Our overlords have convinced us that these and other words are not okay so use and basically makes it impossible to talk about in public or social media. Have we truly gotten that soft and allowed words to hurt us?

One said "slow the fuck down."

While the f-bomb is unquestionably among my favorite of linguistics, I think it's commonly accepted to not be appropriate for the workplace...

Some work places... the f bomb is a multi use word . It can be noun, verb, adjective or whatever you want it truly is a magic word

I find that "course" language is like sprinkles. When added at the right place and on the right subject, they make it better. When over done or added to the wrong thing, it makes things worse.

Not the f-bomb, but still a funny "sign" with colorful language.... While driving through the mountains in Montana years ago (speed limits outside of incorporated areas 70) there was a big sign posted right beside a "reduced speed ahead" sign. It read "Our town is Heaven on Earth to us, please don't drive like HELL through it!"

"Verbal seasoning"

A little can spice things up. A LOT can really fug things up

I am one of the rare few who use it where I work. I wish it wasn't that way. I haven't been reported to HR for it yet, LOL.

I think it must be regional though. My cousin works in St Louis at an investment bank and drops the F bomb numerous times in a 10 minute phone call.

Oh... I do. In a place where we mostly use developmental / beta equipment and things working 60% of the time is standard. Add on top of that a ridiculously restricted network with poorly managed support.

There's just a difference between what is stated during training and is officially acceptable vs what happens when its me in the lab or office.

.gov right?

We only get trained on sexual harassment and insider trading 😂

Saying this project is fucked is acceptable.
