Rude words


When is it acceptable to swear at work? When you are really frustrated, for added impact or stylistic reasons?

These all seem to be acceptable in the media world. A director swore for no apparent reason in an email to all staff recently, I found it quite funny.

Constrained by suits, you should ‘tone down your language’, or at least star one letter to make use of the bad word “ironic”. To date, I don’t think I’ve sworn on this page yet, so here goes:

Tish and Fipsy
Poppycock
Cheeseface
O’ Krakatoa!
