    @icecoldlava @XVIindustries alright so I looked at the actual paper found here (woohoo for free access to papers with my uni). Basically it says that people who have a better swearing vocabulary typically have a better vocabulary in general, but the swearing that showed this was swearing used as expressions of intense emotion, and also general insults, rather than as slurs like race- or gender-based swearing. It also found that swearing generally indicated a less agreeable but more open person.

    It's alright, it doesn't mean each individual person is more or less intelligent based on whether or not they swear. I live in a place where swearing is involved in pretty much every sentence, it doesn't make us all a bunch of geniuses.

    Sarcasm is also seen as quick witted and fast thinker. Just wanted to add to the randomness, even though nothing is truly random
