I wonder which professions are notorious for having the worst language...
Surely construction workers would have to be up there, and I vaguely remember hearing the expression 'swears like a sailor.'
The reason I wonder is because occasionally I let the occasional four-letter-word slip, and when my lovely partner hears it, she is less than impressed. So I'm kind of hoping my particular profession comes quite high up on the list of the world's worst swearers so I can at least come back with: 'well love, you signed up for this package and you get it, foul-mouthed warts and all'.

Jobs where it is predominantly (if not exclusively) men. The presence of women changes how men talk amongst themselves, don't you think?
So yeah, construction and the armed services (or at least certain parts of the armed services) are likely to be contenders.
High-pressure jobs would be good candidates too - swearing can be a release of tension.
And I think low-skilled jobs would have more swearing in them.
Hope that helps. ;-)
