Today’s society considers that swearing is a sign of vulgarity that you may come to consider poor education. However, some studies confirm that saying tacos can lead to greater verbal intelligence.
“The advantages of swearing are many”says Timothy Jay, professor of psychology at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, who has been studying the subject for more than 40 years. “The benefits of swearing started to emerge in the last two decades.”
In this study, participants were asked to say as many words as possible, while they were also asked to come up with words that start with a certain letter. The investigation concluded that those who invented the most words also said a more swear words.
Increased pain tolerance
Other studies have also managed to find a link between profanity and honesty. According to them, people who swear they lie less on an interpersonal level, and have a higher level of integrity.
On the other hand, it has also been possible to draw a curious conclusion: the people who say the most curse words have a higher pain tolerance. According to this, cyclists had more power when swearing while pedaling. The same thing happened with the action of tightening a screw. People who cursed during this action could squeeze harder and for longer.
Thus, saying curse words is a task that is carried out by the right part of the brain, the most creative area. Therefore, patients suffering strokes on the right side of the brain they tend to become less emotional and lose their ability to understand and tell jokes.
