I wouldn't use it to describe the competitors product, though

if you spill coffee in your lap during that business meeting, a 'perkele' sounds appropriate to me

zoi (08:15:55)
My religious step-mother scolded me for a 'Saatana!' once, but I can't recall ever getting any flak for vittu/perkele in the appropriate context.

I think it's some old word for some pagan devil-like thing or similar. I don't think people put much weight into it nowadays.

I guess context matters for all of the above.

C) In a business meeting with people you just met, would someone say it casually?

A) parents say it around their kids? B) are kids scolded for saying it?
