I'm finishing my PGCHE portfolio, and have had to consider whether to add something to my teaching philosophy about the bullshit underlying the sheepish approach to teaching and learning.
Sadly, when I discussed the issue with my wife, I was reminded of this article discussing the difference in attitude to vulgarity in the humanities and social sciences, and also what Jim wrote about a related area previously.
Now, the attitude to vulgarity in engineering practice would make a humanities professor blush, and we were instructed to write our portfolios in the style appropriate to our discipline, but I'm pretty sure they meant the style associated with scholarly publications in our discipline.
I think if I wanted to be borderline I might say that the entire field of pedagogy is founded only in "bullshit" (Frankfurt 2005), but though this is true, I might get referred, and have to re-write the fucking thing.

Comments are very much appreciated, and will almost certainly be published. Please note however that calling me rude names or offering to sell me remedies for my supposed erectile dysfunction will not be considered a useful contribution.
