I’ve never seen so many retweets and posts about how confused people were about the meaning and context of this language at this popular venue.

I’ve noticed an increase in well-known figures using curse words in presentations and interviews. It used to be you would see somebody “let one fly” in text, but not so much in a recorded audio or video.

It also seems like the stakes have been raised in the delivery of curse words. “Damn” seemed to be a consistent favorite for awhile and now even damn is child’s play to the emergence of “f” bombs.

The “cool kids”, as I talk about in my podcast, at least know how to use “f” bombs as adjectives, adverbs, and nouns.

Is cursing at a public business presentation unprofessional? Am I and others taking this out of context?

I share my thoughts on this podcast.
