    Do you swear at work?

    Got a bad case of Tourettes.

    Not sure my Indian colleagues approve.

    They are somewhat conservative.

    ¡¡¡Joder!!!

      If I think I can get away with it, definitely. I'd never say **** though, just **** and tulip etc...

        Swear at work? Like a trooper.

        If anyone complains I just tell them that the F C & S words are old Anglo-Saxon terms that were changed into "swear" words by the Normans invaders.

        And that by preventing me from using them they are culturally oppressing me and that therefore they are inherently racist.

        Works a treat.

        I have no idea if it is true. It's just something I made up 5 years ago.

          I work on a building site: it’s not really considered swearing: more of a “technical term”

                  Well the OP likes to swear in Spanish in Reputations left so I'm sure there's some pretentious reason for swearing at his colleagues.
