In the background of a party scene, songs with some swearing can be faintly heard. "Bitch" and "whore" are used frequently throughout; mostly said by teenage girls to and about other teenage girls.
F*** is only appropriate for adults to use in informal settings. Whenever professionalism is expected, steer clear of the f-word (and other swear words).
