Swearing could be good for us

[The Mullinator]

Yet as much as bad language can deliver a jolt, it can help wash away stress and anger. In some settings, the free flow of foul language may signal not hostility or social pathology, but harmony and tranquillity.

Actually the article is about much more than that and is pretty much about the science of swearing in general. Pretty interesting and after reading has made me much more comfortable about swearing in general.

I like the asterisks that replace swear words. It leaves more to the imagination.

[Murray_H]

Does it apply to the severity of the word?

I say the c word so often I must have very little stess.

 

[Raeven0]

[Absinthe]

You mean ****? ****'s such a lovely ****ing word.

 

[Murray_H]

You mean ****? ****'s such a lovely ****ing word.

Let me see if cock is starred out (nope)

I know **** is, so we must be on the same wavelength.

Probably use it far too ****ing often, but it's become second nature to utter the word **** rather than ****. The second starred out word was the f word.

Oh well. I blame university.

[SubKamran]

It depends when someone swears I guess. Usually to me it diminishes your intelligence, but sometimes it is called for and it's fine.

Everything that's bad is good for you.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Everything that's bad is good for you.

Teh truth has FINALLY been spoken! Teh Snarks salute you!

 

[Prince of China]

Is it okay to not swear and keep everything bottled up inside? I've managed to get rid of that habit and I'm currently trying not to swear. I promised myself I wouldn't. I wouldn't be suprised if I flipped out and starting swearing like crazy.

[bam23]

Bullshit.

I feel better already.

 

[Absinthe]

That's not enough. You need the asterisks. While your post is an admirable effort, let's see how we can improve it.

Your Post: Bullshit.

While succinct and to the point, we can add some color to it by adding another word.

****ing bullshit.

Now we can see a more harsh and aggressive undercurrent. However, the sound itself has that even four-syllabled structure to it. While able to get it's point across, it's relatively flat. Adding another syllable gives it a more pointed edge.

Mo'****in' bullshit.

As you can see, we've transformed a standard swear into something imbued with far more feeling and liveliness. Now let's use it in a context!

That's mo'****in' bullshit, ya dippy ****bucket.

 

[Tr0n]

Well ****...
