I've been amused how at different offices people not just cuss more than others, but they use more crude, direct, blunt language. Where I used to work, it was not uncommon for the big boss to just announce, "I'm going down the hall to take a piss." Cussing was used alot, but only where appropriate, e.g. "Man, I wish he would have told me he was fucking his secretary before we took this case." etc...
Now, I really have to watch my mouth, and a minor irritation that elicits a "Shit!" under my breath gets me horrified looks. So, my cussing has definitely gone down recently.
