I'm sure you're bored of hearing this, but workplaces aren't very 
uniform in expected demeanor across different countries, 
industries, companies and jobs. Playing on stereotypes: what 
might be normal behaviour for a sysadmin at an Australian games 
company would likely be horrifically bad behaviour for a 
user-facing tech support role in a German accounting software 
company. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think programmers swearing 
regularly is pretty normal at work in a lot of places.

Maybe there is another description of what you intend that would 
be more universal.

(To be clear, I think I understand what you mean by "professional 
demeanor", but I've been here a while and inferred from 
observation what you do and don't put up with, plus I guess a bit 
based on similarities between UK and USA culture)
