Which reminds me of this oldie:

The Mother Superior went to the construction site next to the convent seeking out the Foreman. She asked him to “Please stop your men from using crude and foul language as the Novices and Sisters should not be exposed to such offensive speech.”

The Foreman stood his ground, saying that while he sympathized, rough working men and laborers sometimes “called a spade a spade”.

The Mother Superior drew herself up and replied “Well, most of the time they call it a f#*<>ing shovel!”

Actually, TACT is the ability to someone to "Go to Hell" and make them feel glad to be on their way!

FWIW

Me too .
Like compromise it is often a bad idea that leads to misunderstandings that could have been avoided.
