Workplace profanity boosts morale

TechRepublic points us to a British study which concluded that workplace profanity can boost morale. Huh? For me, a completely profanity-free workplace is a huge benefit of working on a church staff, although we do allow the occasional minced oath for comic effect. ;-) We even sang a song in staff chapel with the word "freaking" in the lyrics (Words to Build a Life On from Jacob's Well here in Kansas City).
