Never, I'm not a FAR cop. Today on frequency I described the dumbassery of the command center/tmu by referring sarcastically to all the weather routes (into the weather i might add) to the east coast as "sweet ass routes"
For a moment I couldn't believe i said ASS on the frequency but then I got over it.

I cringed, then laughed out loud. Wow. That's some fine dumbassery for sure, but honestly, I do feel sorry for the guy. I'm sure all of us have talked crap after a radio call.
Controller handled it perfectly, well done.

Haha the stuff I hear on tower tours...

Who am I? Where are my pants?
Having spent most of a career flying an aircraft with a video recording rolling 100% of the time in flight (and with that recording reviewed after nearly every flight), I've learned to watch what I say in the cockpit lest it be heard by the wrong person, either by stuck mic or the recorder.
I got bit by it very early on in my career when I was a student learning to fly the F-15E. I had a flight lead/instructor who was very condescending in what he said to me and how he said it over the radio in flight. After one of the radio bitch-slaps, I said to myself over the intercomm, "Yeah, yeah, you don't have to talk to me like I'm a f-ing third grader, •!" Since that took place during an administrative portion of the sortie, I never figured that the video recording of that portion of the flight would be seen (we do an in-depth review of the tactical portions of the tape).
So, while we're in the debrief, the flight lead is fast-forwarding the 8mm tape to the tactical portion of the mission, and stops the fast-forwarding to check and see where the tape is. When he presses play, the first thing you hear is my flight lead's sarcastic comment about my formation flying, and my in-cockpit musing to myself out loud. He was less than amused about what I'd said and gave me quite a dressing down about it, including an object lesson that the tape (and potentially the stuck mic) is ALWAYS listening to what you say.

That other flight was trying to be a bro, "stuck mic dude. DUDE... Stuck MIC!"

Another thing to keep in mind when talking in the flight deck is the CVR. Yeah, the chances are slim, but if you ball it up and people have to listen to your last words, your family will already be rather distraught, don't say anything that'll make it worse.
Really a good rule of thumb for when you're not flying as well.

One time on a tower tour, I was down in the radar controller's room. One of my buddies was out on a flight trying to come back VFR, but the weather just wouldn't let him so he ended up picking up an IFR clearance. Controller was talking crap about him the whole time we were in there touring. The more you know.
You really do have to be careful about what you say, you never know who might be listening.

Yeah ATC won't have any concern over sterile cockpit rules, but the incident gets reported to management on the spot so we can start notifying adjacent facilities about the problem and try to get people moved to a different frequency (you don't know when the stuck mic is going to end, so it can interrupt operations for quite a while).

Ahh! This is how I change this!
Ugh. I feel bad for the guy. I think we've all said stuff like that but never had a stuck mic.
I used to like LiveATC but when I started flying professionally I came to realize that it's just another way to hang yourself. Someone just happened to be listening, made a clip of it and posted it on the LiveATC forums. Some other knucklehead decides he wants some YouTube hits for his channel and makes a video of the clip to post it online. Now something that could have ended with just getting their asses chewed out over the phone could possibly end with certificate action. It's the Internet I know but I'd like the US to adopt a similar policy to the UK in regards to scanners.

Ha! I know for a fact everyone has said similar stuff, if not worse. This incident is very PG 13. I've heard (and maybe said
Due to the recent educational comments regarding how all statements can and will be used against you, I shall refrain from making any jokes about revered religious figures relieving themselves in the woods. Holy S...!

Actually it might, in that the controller might not hear anything unbecoming that is transmitted from the hot mic.

Did ATC really want the pilots to write down a phone number as they joined final? Sounds like the pilot was pretty accurate with his depiction of them!!!!
Honestly until this was posted on the internet I doubt anything would have happened more than the pilot apologize - now he will likely have to speak to his chief pilot, which unless he has a record of things like this will amount to 'I will not let it happen again'. I am sure the FAA will not get involved - no safety was compromised.
