Regardless of how it is often used (and I would disagree with your assertion in this case), if you're not using it as an expression of frustration in the presentation, it's completely fine.
- anjc 15y agoI guess that depends on whether you want it to be ambiguous about whether you're frustrated or not.
- burgerbrain 15y agoIf I said "Node.js is fucking awesome", would my meaning be ambiguous?
- anjc 15y agoIt's unambiguous that you're enthusiastic about node.js, it's ambiguous about whether you're able to express it well or not without cursing and are therefore frustrated.
- burgerbrain 15y agoThere really must be some sort of cultural difference here. If I heard that phrase in a presentation and the presenter wasn't displaying signs of agitation, it would never cross my mind that they might be frustrated. And if they were displaying signs of agitation, I would likely suspect them of being frustrated regardless of the words used.
