Several studies have found that swearing is a healthy practice that encourages emotional strength. Which pretty much debunks the theory that cursing is the language of the ignorant.
In one British study, researchers found that we swear to cope with situations that make us feel strong emotions, and that a good string of expletives can actually help us endure pain.
"We want to use more taboo words when we are emotional. We grow up learning what these words are and using these words while we are emotional can help us to feel stronger," Dr. Richard Stephens said in a presentation to the British Psychological Society. "Some words are more taboo than others - but the effects can be greater, the stronger the word."
Not only do we feel more confident when we curse, but apparently it makes us a whole lot more attractive, too.
The moral of the story is that bottling emotions is bad for your health. If dropping an F-bomb helps you blow off steam or express your true feelings, let it fly.
Just don't get excessive.
