"Swearing" - To be honest, I do at things occasionally when situations demand but definitely not at work. Even the filthiest mess on the code , bad people behavior in team etc, do test my patience but have not managed to pull the Elephanting wild words out @ work. Off work, yes I do at times.
With remote calls @ work, I have done some real goof ups in the past. like forgetting to mute the call and asking a LOUD CUP OF COFFEE from the wife, making a video call instead of Voice call (With a shabby unshaved beard, & unkempt hairs pointing on all directions). Damns Hangouts  . And Sometimes If I got connectivity issues, I do try over the phone but forget to disconnect the skype call that is also running in parallel. etc.
But I quickly patch it up like, "uhh, folks you still there,Okay, One more thing before we log off" & Shamelessly continue with a call that I clearly said good bye at. That used to be an embarrassing moment, but the intensity of it purely based on what you've spoken/done after thinking you are out of the concall. Usually it's been manageable 
But this one today, is really really special.
I was having an hour long conference call (over Skype) with the team with some the of members newly joined in. After the passed on the message, I said "Okay folks, that's all I got to say , lets continue with the tasks" & I disconnected the call, Removed the headphones". And with my phone, dialed the electrician who installed Interverters/UPS for me at home for a service request. He's been evading the call for so long and it got to a point, not just elephants, it pulled the T-rex and mosasaurs out of my mouth , when he didn't pick up the call. When the wife heard my voice & she asked what happened, I repeated the whole sequence of words with the same intensity. As it was going on, I just got a ping in Skype:
"So we can disconnect the call?" - A polite request.
My goodness, That was a feeling! I had to reply like, "What? The call was still not over??"
I got real furious and I was about to request them to keep up the concalls etiquettes , i.e Even if someone mistakenly left the call unclosed, someone should remove them voluntarily instead of listening to the conversations happening @ home. blah blah.
But just checked I'm really into the call. To my surprise, I'm not.
I carefully replied him back : " Am I really , still, in the call?"
That guy: No, I just asked, if we (just the team there in office) can get back to work".
WTF? Is he in sane? He was trying to be too nice asking my permission before they disperse out of the conference room. He might have really ended up getting my first curse @ Work. sadly 
I just kept cool , and replied. "Sure , why not?"

(For reference: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=5100211#xx5100211xx[^])
2 more hints:
1. We have two of it in the subject line...
2. y === n

You certainly get a nice pretty colourful graph when you search for the expression on Google!

Okay, i admit, my brain is working on very low energy due to the presale of the wacken 2016 tickets this night but can i be that dumb, really?
Its 7 different letters , ISS? (International Space Station)
It's in the Title...
It's not SUBJECT ?
NUMBERS OMG !
