I personally wouldn’t use any word like “slay” in the workplace. I think it’d be completely unnecessary.
You win!
“Union” - your boss, probably
Related, “revolution” is probably frowned upon in most professional settings. Funny how that works.
Unless you work with rotary equipment.
One would think that “hot strippers” is not acceptable in any technical professional environment. Except there are mechanical devices that strip optical fiber from the jacket/coating. The devices are called strippers. Some of those devices are heating up the coating before removing for the easiness of stripping. Those are hot strippers. And of course, MS Outlook blocks e-mails that have these words.
Antidisestablishmentarianism.
(unless you are an historian of the Anglican Church)
That word always sounded like it was rather self explanatory so I never looked it up before. I never realized it was specifically the disestablishment of the Church of England.
As someone who was baptized Anglican, I am 100% an Antidisestablishmentarian.
If you don’t intuitively know which slang or curse words can be used in a given professional setting (they are not all alike), then you should avoid all profanity and slang, and speak proper English. Always err on the side of caution when your career, reputation, or important matters are at stake.
I haven’t managed to make “analingus” work in a meeting so far, but I’m determined.
That’s certainly one way to climb the corporate ladder…
Use it instead of the word analogous.
Oh yeah. I could make it a game. See how long anyone notices.

Cuck
Don’t say anything sexual or overtly blasphemous or curse at a customer/higher up and in my experience no one will really care. Read the room for sure but times have changed, I’ve not worked in a place with overt swearing rules in over a decade. Even in severe cases you’ll likely just be asked to tone it down
Moose knuckles
Fuck-knuckle
Clearly not an Australian, I’ve heard that said on the radio in the afternoon
C word.
Collateralized ?
I recall hearing that one should never use a three letter word starting with ‘g’ and ending with ‘t’ (i.e. get, git, got, gut). Instead: obtain, stomach, ‘being unhelpful’ etc.
This was before github was a thing, of course.
What about SVN?
Or CIA?
Guillotine - oh no wait, that one SHOULD actually be used as often as possible, in any professional context
