Wow, do people in SF use the term "PC" all the time like that? I've never even heard anyone say that. Also, I have yet to see tremendous displays of people shunning non "PC" comments. So I live/work/grew up in the North-East US. And I say much of the language and jokes are still some what crass and rude. I know a few guys decently high up that drop f-bombs all day long, and nobody blinks, guys in the lab make sexist/elitist jokes left and right, no body cares. (yeah yeah, it's mostly males) But what I've seen, the closer to NY/NJ/Philly you get, the more "un-pc" people get. And sometimes the brutal un-filtered honesty is refreshing to me, to be honest. Or a simple joke about sam having his panties in a knot lightens up the mood a bit.
- crag 14y agoI used to work on a trading floor in NYC. And man, I doubt anyone (even the women) did not spend the day cursing up a storm. Of course I did too. There's a satisfaction that comes with hanging up with a client (on the phone) and then ripping him apart to your fellow traders for not "spending" enough. Now, living in South Florida, it's almost the same environment. But, except for a few neighborhoods in Miami, most consider South Florida to be a borough of NYC.
