I think it's pretty clear then that you've never had a gig.:) To say that the language in our department is salty is an understatement and that's not unique to my company or even profession. I've worked on the inside for everything from banking to medical and mostly Internet services / carrier businesses and they are universally that way. Look at expressions like RTFM or similar. When something goes wrong real humans don't say "oh fudge or holy shnikeys". Further more in the business world this is very common. Sales droids trying to sell products to companies I have worked for have used such tactics as taking the engineers to strip clubs, excessive liquor and or combinations of these and worse. Maybe in somelittle insurance office in east joe blow montana has some sort of excessively strict language requirement but in the real world you old fuddy duddies are pretty far off base.:)
