English Vulgate

Is this new? I don't think we have seen this pop up in the corporate press before?


""I think people like to bitch about gas prices, but it doesn't really affect demand," said Matthew Hart, chief operating officer of Hilton Hotels, which keeps a sharp eye on vacationers who use its highway hotels"

No, I am not at all fucking offended, but I don't think I have seen this sort of speech used in financal reports before. It just struck me as odd. It is bad, but it seems somewhat unprofessionnal for your COO to use the word "bitch" when talking about the company's outlook and market. But then again someday Paris will be his boss, so I guess it is all only fitting :rolleyes:

[Mr Garrison]Now kids, we're allowed to say fuck now, but only in certain contexts. You can only use it as a modifier, not as a noun.

For example, the following sentence:
"These gas prices are fucking terrible."
is acceptable. M'kay.
However, the sentence:
"Those fuckheads have raised gas prices again."
is not acceptable. M'kay.

Can anyone give me an example of an acceptable way to use the word fuck?[/Mr Garrison]

I've seen too much South Park.

My guess is that he may have been in the Board Room taking that conference call and forgot he wasn't conversing with one of his co-workers, then again, he may be a distant relative of Prince Charles.
