It never failed to get everyone's attention, even those who had been nodding off (including me sometimes) immediately focused on him to figure out what they had been missing. I was so impressed, that I tried this in my own class (I was a TA at that time). I'd use a swear word maybe 2 times an hour, usually in the middle of a longer explanation. Worked like f*cking magic! People were paying a LOT more attention, and those who still didn't understand what I was explaining were at least somewhat entertained.

I have read/heard that swearing in the office place can create some bonding on a team ... what you write about here gives something to think about on the question "how much is good, how much is too much?"
