Hehe I just saw this on the BBC News & thought I'd share it with you all (well especially for tiswas actually;)) Funny as fuck eh, lol!!:D:p
Swearing at work helps employees cope with stress, academics at a Norfolk university have said.
A study by Norwich's University of East Anglia (UEA) into leadership styles found the use of "taboo language" boosted team spirit.
Professor Yehuda Baruch, professor of management, warned that attempts to prevent workers from swearing could have a negative impact.

Here are more Stress-Buster techniques:
Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Wear them one day after you boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is of a different gender than you.)
Make up nicknames for all your coworkers and refer to them only by these names. "That's a good point, Sparky." "No, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Cha-cha."
Send e-mail to the rest of the company telling them exactly what you're doing. For example: "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom."
Hang mosquito netting around your cubicle. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day. When you do emerge to get coffee or a printout or whatever, slap yourself randomly the whole way.
Every time someone asks you to do something, anything, ask them if they want fries with that.
Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy".
As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.
Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard Kim.
Hang mistletoe over your desk.
Talk to your mouse as if it is a C.B. radio.
While making presentations, occasionally bob your head like a parakeet.

I have read that, if sandwich was a cussword, but it's hardly original is it not.
F this something sounds like nothing original at all, and besides it very RUDE to swear esp in front of the kiddies and ladies.

Maybe when you've read I Am Me, I Am Free (http://www.davidickebooks.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=9/affiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=288_0_1_7), you'll see it differently, and also appreciate that not everyone sees cussing the same way.

Well I personally think it's one of the most universal words around, you can use it in almost any fucking sentence, lol!!:D Of course I don't use it around young kids, I do have some standards, lol!:p
