Blasting swearwords is clearly now commonplace across the country, but what’s more shocking is that we’re not even watching our language at work.

The survey revealed that over a third of us (35%) have sworn at our boss, and of those who admitted to it, 64% were men and 36% were women.

Equally as bad, over a third of Brits (37%) have also been sworn at by their boss; with 71% of those saying it’s a regular occurrence.

Swearing is clearly deeply ingrained in our language, as embarrassingly 1 in 5 Brits admit to accidentally swearing in an interview.

The results also revealed workers in the energy industry uss the most profane language, with 65% admitting to swearing. In comparison, only 29% of those who work in pharmaceuticals curse at work.

Nicky Story from Soap Supplier says: “It appears swearing is a big part of our everyday language – but there is a time and a place.

"Dropping the f-bomb at work may be your way of letting off steam, but it may be also offending co-workers, so make sure to gauge the cursing culture in the office before you turn the air blue.

"In some situations there really is no excuse for bad language – make sure to wash your mouth out before an interview!”
