Corporate managers are usually known for their stuffy professionalism, but every once in a while C-suite executives like to let loose with some profanity.
Analysts and investors listening in to the latest round of earnings calls may have heard wildcatter and Halcon Resources CEO Floyd Wilson describe his company's properties with colorful language or CBS's Leslie Moonves curse at Fox for its great World Series ratings. Profanity usage seems to be up this year from 2014 or 2015, but is still down from earlier in the decade, according to an analysis of Seeking Alpha transcripts by CNBC.
