Bing Crosby was known for deliberately singing four-letter words when he messed up a take while recording, so that the record producer would have to destroy the tapes instead of keeping them for blooper records. Apparently, his language was truly filthy.

What, ridiculously romanticized and inaccurate stereotypes of the home country? Say it aint so! (Signed, "Celtic," as in the basketball team, pronounced SELL-tick, and used as a noun.)
Ha! I'm in the 4th generation of an Irish immigrant family, which is just close enough to the Mother Country to still have green eyes and be rightfully terrified of the cuisine.
People who say "How's it hanging?" as a greeting.
I only do that with old buddies of the regular and fuck- varieties.

Let's say that at your company, some employees get PTO (paid time off). If those employees had the option of donating their PTO to other employees (even those who normally are not eligible for PTO) how often you you suppose people would do this?

I wouldn't donate my own PTO, but I would happily accept gifts of such from others.
