Swearing does not mean the talker is lazy or uneducated, study found; Those who are more confident using taboo words are more articulate ...

Although I have a pretty good vocabulary which shifts color over cigars and cognac on the porch, I tend not to waste them during the day, especially on REMFs who wouldn't have a clue anyways. Waste of a good sequence.

LOL. And like in boxing, it's the combination/sequence that provides the real value. excellent.

"People who are experts at swearing have BIGGER vocabularies than others". This may be true, but it hinges on the word "Expert" and how many bloggers are really experts. In my experience a large percentage of today's twitter generation, lack the vocabulary necessary to express complex and nuanced emotions in writing. The result is commentary where people struggle to out-emote an opponent with limited resources for expressing their point, which rapidly devolves into cursing and name calling.

Do you think some men may use a barrage of curse words during their briefings, as a test to see the reaction of others (maybe specifically females) as in, "How thick is your skin"?

It doesn't bother me, I see it for what it is. As long as I can get the important words out from in between the adjectives it's ok. :-)

I learn how to be from one of my Drill Sergeants he was an ordained Preacher and never cussed, he would use words like Dern and Joka! Joka became my word of choice when going off on soldiers or getting my point across lol. I didn't have moment of time where I did curse like a sailor as they say but that was the environment I was in and was just angry at a lot of things at the point of my military career.
