This question has come up on the list several times in the past, and
various PLUG contributors have asserted their intention to speak
freely, which occasionally includes colorful language.

So, I guess if your manager saw it and asked about it, you'd have to
tell her why you read this mailing list on company time.  I assume you
have one or several good reasons that, hopefully, ought to outweigh
the chances of someone being offended.

Forewarned if forearmed, or something like that.

Also, be careful with any kernel source you might have downloaded to
corporate disk storage.  It is riddled with profanity.
