De la Ambasada Canadei în România - Limbaj vulgar

FW: De la Ambasada Canadei în România
To: All Romanian Speaking Staff
Subject: Improper Language Usage

It has been brought to our attention by several officials visiting our office in Romania that offensive language is commonly used by our Romanian speaking staff. Such behavior, in addition to violating our policy, is highly unprofessional and offensive to both visitors and staff. All personnel will immediately adhere to the following rules:

1. Words like futui, în pula mea, pulă and other such expressions will not be tolerated or used for emphasis or dramatic effect, no matter how heated a discussion may become.

2. You will not say şi-a băgat pula when someone makes a mistake, or s-a căcat pe el if you see someone being reprehended, or băga-mi-aş, when a major mistake has been made. All forms and derivations of the verb a se căca and a se fute are utterly inappropriate and unacceptable in our environment.

3. No project manager, section head or administrator under any circumstances will be referred to as pulă de om, căcănaru' or boul.

4. Lack of determination will not be referred to as pulălău nor will persons who lack initiative be referred to as muiangiu.

5. Unusual or creative ideas offered by management are not to be referred to as porcării.

6. Do not say futu-ţi pe măta if somebody is persistent; do not add pula mea, if a colleague is going through a difficult situation. Furthermore, you must not say am pus-o (refer to item 2) nor o să ne-o tragă when a matter becomes excessively complicated.

7. When asking someone to leave you alone, you must not say du-te-n pulă nor should you ever substitute "May I help you?" with, ce pula mea vrei?.

8. Under no circumstances should you ever call your elderly industrial partners boşorogi împuţiţi.

9. Do not say ia mai mereţi-n pulă cu căcatu' ăsta when a relevant project is presented to you, nor should you ever answer futu-te-n cur when your assistance is required.

10. You should never call partner representatives as boul dracului or tîmpitu' ăla.

11. The sexual behavior of our staff is not to be discussed in terms such as pizdulică bună, futăciosu' or homălău' lu' peste.

12. Last but not least, after reading this note, please do not say mă sterg la cur cu textul ăsta. Just keep it clean and dispose of it properly.

Thank you.
