Let me re-phrase the question. How many of you use curse words on the job
but won’t admit to it?
That’s what I thought.
CareerBuilder recently conducted a study of cursing in
the workplace and ranked the top cities according to percentage of workers
surveyed that admitted to cursing on the job.
Washington, D.C. topped the list at 62 percent. The nation’s capital was followed by Denver
(60 percent) and Chicago (58 percent).
New York finished ninth at just 46 percent. This clearly means one thing: New Yorkers are a bunch of effin’ liars!
I live and work in Washington, D.C. so that percentage is
not really all that surprising to me. In
fact, I can probably count on one hand the number of people I have worked with
in the last 20 years that have not used “colorful language” on the job. One guy I worked with used the exclamation
“rats!” instead of cursing. Come to
think of it, that’s pretty colorful language right there so perhaps I shouldn’t
exclude him?
At any rate, certainly a story about cursing on the job
was going to generate some disagreements from the internet world, right?
Well “globetrotter” I seriously doubt any English teacher
said “…they using curse words” but nice try.
I have a friend who is an English teacher and I believe her command of
the language seems to give her an advantage in creatively using curse words.
Anyone else want to try their hand at the “holier than
thou” approach?
Good one “Bobby.”
I’ve got to say that “enigmatic sounding monikers” sounds a little
dirty…
“Wazsup” you look like you have something feeble to add…
How about a generational argument? The article also said that younger people
were less likely to curse at work than…uh…”experienced” workers…
Hey “soold”…first of all, learn how to spell “excel” and
second…Get the eff off my lawn and pull up your pants!!!
Interesting put-down from someone who refers to himself
as “Mrpeepeehead”
Ooooh…here WE go!
Look, I don’t know why “Bill O” felt the need to bring homosexuality
into this discussion either, but I do agree that if anyone is looking for an
argument, THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE!
Dammit “Tom,” it’s “cesspool.” Please, if you’re going to insult us there is
really no room for error.
Everyone cheer for the required political comment…yawn…
Oh, “White Devil.”
What the hell is “mokey boy nogger”?
Is incoherence your calling card, or is that a stupid question?
Well, I have no idea what either of you typed here. Are you sure you’re speaking English? Insults work so much better when people
understand them…
Seriously? I don’t
really know what to say. Can someone
help me out?
Well, not really as “colorful” as I’d have probably
gone…but sometimes subtlety is better.
Thanks “Scott.”
And thank you “EDWIN” for feeling our pain. I have to admit, after so many years driving
the beltway myself, it gets very hard to…
Be Reasonable.
