Are F-Bombs Dropped Frequently At Your Job?

At what point does a swear word stop being a swear word and start being an exclamation? Has WTF, F-Bombs, friggin' and saying," effing this and effing that," so sanitized the f-word that it's lost its vulgarity? If no one is offended is it still a swear word?

It happened to the word damn ---not sure when it happened or why it happened, but in the 1930's the movie censors thought damn was such an offensive word that it wasn't allowed in movies. Gone With The Wind was only allowed to include Rhett Butler's famous words, " Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn," because it was a direct quote from the original book.

While the news media still treats incidents when commentators or celebrities drop the f-word as if it were actual news, it's as newsworthy as daily updates on Paris Hilton.

At one time, saying the F-word at work could be a fireable offense. Today, it's as likely for a manager to drop the f-bomb in a team meeting as it is for them to say, " at the end of the day.moving the goal posts, transparency,value-added,or win-win-win." What is happening at your workplace. Is there a tolerance for f-bombs as long as they are not said in anger? Is it your favorite exclamatory expression? Does it offend you?
