Nothing conveys "OH SHIT!" better than oh shit when your in the shit. I mostly agree with you. Let your conscience be thy guide.

Wasn't really gonna argue. Just pointing out the fact that the word is used in the corporate world a lot.

It's a good way of describing what Wall st has done to the economy.
Or what has happened to Iraq since George W Bush sent the military to find the weapons of mass destruction.

Coming to this thread, I realize what an uninteresting saying clusterfuck and gagglefuck are.

If only they meant what they said.

It's a major no-no in every corporate environment I've been in.

I guess it depends on the corporate culture. It is such a competitive environment, bad language is just one more way to be eliminated.

Plain and simple, you'll be viewed as uneducated, uncouth, and generally a dirtbag.

You will not lose any promotion opportunities by using unoffensive language.
