I don't talk that way, so It puts me off when I'm around people that
do. I'll admit that I will judge a person based on how they're
speaking. Having not used that language, I will say that it seems that
is becoming the 'normal' Even when visiting customers now, those words
just are in their natural speech now.
However, I watch TV shows/movies where the language is just a blue, and
it doesn't seem to bother me. Youtube videos do bother me though.
Maybe something about having a scripted reason to say it, vs just saying
to to fill time?

Had a vendor make a visit to my company a while back and during the
visit he was dropping the F bomb left and right. I would have thought
he would have toned it down as my wife was in the meeting. After he
left I told a manufacturer’s rep about it and he contacted the guys
boss and the next thing I know the guy is apologizing. Was not trying
to cause him problems as work, just asking for a sanity check.
I have been in probably thousands of board and business meetings over
the years, and don’t recall anyone ever being gratuitous in the use of
the F word. I do recall one of the big bosses at Harris Broadcast in
Quincy Il complaining about their director of sales being too salty
for high end businesses meetings.
Then yesterday I was taken to task by a video blogger which had done a
pretty good job in his Tesla review except for the F bomb every other
sentence. I told him it was about as welcome as a fart in an
elevator. He thinks I am too old to have a valid opinion. I guess he
is one of those thin skinned millennials...
TV shows it all the time, but I don’t think it is common in the
business world. Perhaps Utah is in a bubble?
