      Saying the word "fuck" to someone in a professional context (my experience): British: slightly shocked pause American: dead silence like you announced your spree of murders Australian: "yeah, fuck is right, it's a fucking nightmare"

      I haven't worked with many people from other English-speaking nations so if anyone wants to add Canadian etc to this feel free

          The other fun one is saying "putin" in front of French people, because they're usually just delighted that you know some French

          I’d say Irish is the same as Australian.

          My wife is Canadian. She’d ask you why you felt the need to censor yourself.

          Canadian: shocked. Utterly shocked. Will then pretend they didn’t hear it. South African: Like Australian

          Canadians are the most non-sweary bunch I've come across. I was in a pub in a tough area the other night and was so impressed to hear someone get 5 versions of swears into one sentence. More swearwords than non-swearwords. #straya

          Québécois swear a lot, and very fluently. It is a beautiful thing, watching a really good Québécois swearer in full flight.

          Anyone saying Canadians don't swear in professional context are not from the West Coast (we might have picked it up from the Aussies), or have never been chased by a cobra chicken, which teaches you that saying "fUUUUUUUUCKKKK" is always appropriate.
