In my opinion, there’s a time and place for everything. Whether it is joking around or even using inappropriate language. Today in class I dropped the F bomb during a very important presentation! Yes, I know, it was uncalled for and not professional.
I was speaking in regards to a project I had been working on with a local band called The Deepest Red. I accidently said it when I was trying to quote an attendee from the band’s show last week…he said the banding was “f***ing awesome!” Actually he said the whole word but I am trying to be clean here. I meant to say that in the way I just wrote it…however…the whole word came out. All my classmates laughed and my professor was shocked…I was mortified. I guess that woke up the class! I quickly apologized about the incident and explained that I was quoting someone and had all the intentions of “cleaning” up the word, but as one can tell that didn’t work out!
I learned for the next time to be very careful…even when quoting someone else’s words. Or maybe just not even try to quote such a quote because regardless if it is in class or for a business meeting, it is still inappropriate language and disrespectful.
