If they're offended, they're performing ego driven development. Aim cursing at the code, not the person: "This code is complete horseshit" means exactly that and one's got room for improvement, not that one is worth complete horseshit.
I'd rather have people around me that have the courage to say "WTF is this shit" rather than the politically correct talk about how this code "will not work" and could be "improved". In my current situation the latter only leads to wishful thinking ("in an ideal world we'd fix that... later") and handwaving of my "academic" thought process. Yes it's my ass, the one ass that's sick of making up for people mistakes all the time, and the only thing that has a semblance of snap them out of their numbness is to shock them.
There is nothing less professional than shipping non-functional code to customers, nor imposing undue amount of work to your teammates by writing an unmaintainable mess, either of which being more equivalent to a giant implicit "fuck you" than colourful words.
