Strategic Profanity

The use of language is a core consideration in learning intitiatives, meetings, and life. We all know that the best language is simple language. Phrase things so everyone can understand what you're phrasing.

I believe in an alternative to this rule. Language can be used to pique interest, and create an appeal for a message. To even further deviate from the accepted approach; very unexpected and perhaps offensive language can also create an interest. The occasional use of an explative, for example, can wake a group up and provide that meeting defribulator. Risky, no doubt.

Thinking of some good fiction wherein the unusual dialect adds to appeal:

• Trainspotting
• A Clockwork Orange
• Anything by James Joyce - although understanding what he's doing with that language is sometimes an infuriating challenge

Without offending, how else can language be effective in altering the meeting atmosphere?
