What Does Swearing Says About You?

8. You might be able to express yourself better

While some may view those, who swear as having a limited vocabulary, research shows the opposite. While studying 43 men and women, researchers counted how many swear words they could say in one minute. Next, they were asked to name as many animals as they could within a minute. The more swear words a person generated, the more expansive their vocabulary was. They concluded that when you have a more expansive vocabulary, particularly a high vocabulary of taboo words, you can express yourself more effectively.
