A 2015 study found that well-educated people with plenty of words at their disposal were better at coming up with curse words than those who were less verbally fluent.“Having the strategies to know where and when it’s appropriate to swear, and when it’s not,” Jay said, “is a social cognitive skill like picking the right clothes for the right occasion. That’s a pretty sophisticated social tool.”

I decided to stop using swear words about 15 years ago after I heard my kids doing it.
