I’m not a prude ...or maybe I’m turning into one as I get older, but can’t people talk without using the f-word? Is it still possible to get your point across with plain English?

I blame The Sopranos for their incessant use of the F Bomb. I'm no prude, but I don't like it either. My boss and his assistant use it constantly, which opened the door for a female coworker to join right in.

I suppose that means I'm an old fuddy duddy.

“I blame The Sopranos for their incessant use of the F Bomb. I’m no prude, but I don’t like it either.”

Long before The Sopranos I supported a city construction crew (1970s). This was their language 24/7. F bomb doesn’t bother me much. Taking the Lord’s name in vain ... unacceptable.

The "f-word" today is tantamount to the way the British utilize the word "bloody".

The (insert f-word) Republic is disintegrating before our eyes and you're (insert f-word) clutching pearls over a (insert f-word) word??

No, sounds like you're more intelligent and mature than your boss :)
