Investigation for misconduct

But in many workplaces if those words were used against someone then the person saying it could well be up on a misconduct charge, as the OP is. It's unlikely that would happen had 'nincompoop' been used.
I'm not at all sure about that. It's not the fact that he swore but the fact that he insulted somebody that matters.
I swear all the time at work in a professional office environment. If I called someone "f****ing brilliant" that would be taken as praise and welcomed. If I called someone "a f****ing idiot" I would be in trouble, but for the idiot part, not the swearing part.0
