Brazen headlines attract eyeballs, but I still can’t bring myself to swear in print. This is as close as I’ll probably ever come, a nice TLA* with two relevant meanings–feel free to pick the one least likely to offend you or most likely to humor you.

So on Friday night, I joined up with Chris Brogan, Len Edgerly, Doug Haslam, Susan Getgood (and her husband), Pistachio, Adam Zand John Wall and my lovely wife Mailin to roast Scott Monty, who is for some crazy reason leaving the fair state of Massachusetts for Detroit.

A roast, for those of you unfamiliar with the concept, is where a bunch of people get together to both honor and make fun of an individual. At a roast, the greatest honor you can pay someone is to make fun of that person. The best part of it is, that the person being made fun of gets the last word!

A roast is also an opportunity to let loose a bit. For some, well, myself at least, that meant the use of curse words. Yes, sweet, innocent little Todd cussed at Scott Monty. In fact, I got the entire room to drop the F-bomb in unison (there’s audio of this somewhere–I will find it and share it).

Which brings me to my question. Do you swear in your professional life? At the office? At home? Online? Are you trying to cut back, or do you even give a crap? I find myself cussing a bit too much for my liking. Do you?

But to anyone who might be offended at my bad language, you should hear some of the vulgar, horrendous stuff that was used in the private Friar’s Club roasts.

Oh, by the way. Guess who produces the Comedy Central roasts, which recently included Gene Simmons? Yep. Dennis Leary.

* Three letter acronym, of course!
