Mixed company?  What sort of mixed company?

The elderly and the young?  Maybe the very old, like those in their 80s or 90s would see it that way.  I think most people would mind their language with the elderly unless they know it wouldn't offend.

Most people know when it's appropriate to use Fwords and when it's not.  

 

Obviously Cate doesn't...

 

Random swearing is nothing to judge a person by.

 

I'm not judging her, I'm saying it was an uncouth thing to say which was totally at odds with the glamour of the evening and simply reinforces the Aus bogan stereotype.

 

Nasty name calling personal attacks on people are way more offensive, imo.

 

Agreed, but that is not the topic of this discussion, nor has it occurred here.
