Many parents start to control their language when they have kids because they don't want their children to become "bad". Kids understand the degree of swearing and when to use it and when it is unnecessary. Children understand the context it is used in, as long as it is not to them, but it is fine around them.

It's commonly believed that those who throw swear words around freely are either uneducated, lazy, have a minuscule vocabulary, or all of the above. Now, we can officially say, those who subscribe to that belief are just a**holes. A pair of psychologists from two U.S.

Psychologists Kristin Jay, of Marist College, and Timothy Jay, of Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, examine profanity acquisition in children: specifically what vocabulary items/ phrases comprised their "taboo lexicon" at different ages, and the children's assessment of the Inappropriateness of those words, as compared with teen and adult viewpoints.

Richard Stephens and his colleagues from Keele University found that swearing makes people more able to tolerate pain. His study involved participants sticking their hands in ice cold water and seeing how long they could hold their hand inside. They found the participants who swore, could hold their hands in twice as long than the ones who said neutral words.

I would be lying if I told you that this was a really good article. This is actually a badass article about how we use swear words and strong language to emphasize a point in daily conversation. If I were to say, "Wow! That is a really big car!" it does not carry much weight as if I were to say, "Damn! That's a big-ass car!" This article explains how using this kind of language adds a pop of color and richness to our day to day conversations.
