Many people assume that those who swear are less intelligent based on a poor vocabulary. However, evidence suggests the opposite. Research shows a positive correlation between a person's IQ, swearing capability, and general vocabulary. The key is knowing when it's appropriate to swear and in what context. This relates to social intelligence; knowing where and when to use curse words is a social cognitive skill. Some disagree, believing that the use of swear words makes you appear less intelligent and less likable.
