Swearing at work boosts team spirit, morale: research
Regular swearing at work can help boost team spirit among staff, allowing them to express better their feelings as well as develop social relationships, according to a study by researchers.
Yehuda Baruch, a professor of management at the University of East Anglia, and graduate Stuart Jenkins studied the use of profanity in the workplace and assessed its implications for managers.
They assessed that swearing would become more common as traditional taboos are broken down, but the key appeared to be knowing when such language was appropriate and when to turn to blind eye.
The pair said swearing in front of senior staff or customers should be seriously discouraged or banned, but in other circumstances it helped foster solidarity among employees and express frustration, stress or other feelings. More here:
Ok -- first of all -- this is a crock of shit. Everyone knows that "swearing fosters a sense of solidarity among employees." So does using the N-word when you're among like-minded idiots. SO WHAT. That's NOT the way you "foster solidarity." Instead, it's the way you foster idiotarity.

But Klown, you swear all the time.
Yes -- but it's the only way I can keep from killing the GD humans.
Second of all -- WHO CARES?? Why is the public paying for one after another of these CROCK studies?? WHY? Yes, I know it's Britain but what's the difference.
