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"

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

Except they would say fook?

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.

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.
