9) When asking someone to leave you alone, you should not say " vayase pala mierda", or will you substitute "qué putas quiere?" for "May I help you?".
10) When leaving the office, using the term " me voy malparidos " is not proper.
11) When any office equipment fails, it must be reported as " it broke down", not " se despichó" or " se jodió está mierda ".
12) Last but not least, after reading this memo, please do not say, "me voy a limpiar el culo con esto". Just keep it clean and file properly.

Thank you for your cooperation.

As someone who grew up in New Jersey and who lives in Costa Rica I have two comments:

 

1. It is simply not conceivable that any company anywhere in New Jersey would ever try to minimize the use of crude expressions no matter the language. It's the State that invented FYYFF after all.
2. I am embarrassed to admit that I am utterly unable to live up to my heritage in the use of colorful language in Costa Rican Spanish. Thank you for the intro, although I fear I simply am not moving in the right circles to acquire the proper education. Perhaps going to the local fútbol games in the Liga de Ascenso will help?

Qué hijueputa wrote that piece of mierda?!

[salish sea]

Say it nicely, Tiffany, and it will sound like a compliment.....

[stewart.tb]

Oh, I totally meant it as a compliment.

This is soo funny!!!! I think the work place would be better if they did use this language. You immediatly understand with these phrases IMHO.

I (obviously) am around my pachuco talking esposo so much that one time I nearly said "lo despichaste?" to a student when they told me the microwave was broken.

Bwaaajaja, Lucybelle! I need more pachuco practice ... being married to a librarian is great for grammar but not so great for el lenguage del pueblo, jjaja.
