Anybody who says that this sort of thing is ok at work is living in the wrong century, or is arrogant enough to think that moderate or passive forms of violence make that person 'harder' (e.g. "back in my day, we used to..."). Casual profanity in a non-threatening manner, if the other party is comfortable, should be absolutely fine. But always consider context and not what is normalised, as this could be toxic.
