Not watching where I figuratively step
Apparently you're not allowed to tell someone that they really cocked something up. Well, judging at least from the looks of shock I got earlier. Apparently fucking something up is okay, but cocking it up is right out.
Good to know.

Bizarrely, 'cocking it up' is way more acceptable over here in the UK than 'fucking it up'.
I live on a straaaange little island man!
I'd figured that'd be the case Deanne... maybe we still have that tight laced colonial thing going on here.
Or maybe I just work with idiots. =)
i think it's more acceptable to say "that was a cock-up" than to say "you cocked it up". yes?
Not sure... What I said was "Boy, you really cocked that up, didn't you?"
