And what is your opinion on the pictured quote?
That quote seems reasonable enough to me on the whole, although, there are definitely trustworthy people who don't swear, and untrustworthy people who swear like pirates.
Growing up, my older cousin always told me that people only swore because they couldn't think of something more intelligent to say. As a result of that, and what I was taught by my dad and stepmom, I outright refused to swear ever, at all until I was fifteen even though schoolmates would dare me to and make fun of me about it often. Once I outgrew that, I started swearing more and more frequently and now I swear as part of my everyday vocabulary along with most other people I know. I now feel that she was being a bit uptight and have learned to appreciate a well placed F bomb. I thoroughly enjoy swear words in general, as a matter of fact. I read somewhere once that yelling the F word loudly after injuring yourself actually has a legitimate measurable pain killing effect unlike any other word.

Have you seen his TV series?
Have to go... lot of searching and downloading to do.... Thanks for the tip!! :o)
The study makes a lot of sense. If people swear around others, they clearly don't care what that person thinks about their vocabulary or trust them enough to trust them not to judge. But people who simply don't care swear a lot as well.
Research has shown that it reduces pain and can relieve stress, yet another so-called but meaningless evil that is in fact good for us.
The extremes are different and that's just some trying to be tough or hip.
That being said, I do it a lot. For shame.
