Why swearing is a sign of intelligence, helps manage pain and more
I agree. I cuss just like anyone else. Don't be around if I hit my thumb with a hammer, if you have delicate ears. Cussing/swearing is somewhat different than insult. Insults can be laced with vulgarity or not. But are still insults. Perhaps more attention should be given to the insult than the manner.
What should know people who insult?
Insults are abuse. Insulting your partner is abuse. Insulting a child, a co-worker, a friend, parents or even that person we do not know at all on the Internet is also abuse. It is aggressiveness. Disrespect. Empathy deficit. And, above all, it is a sign of incredible intellectual poverty.
In fact, the insult says more about the person who insults than about the person who is insulted. It says that this person is not able to control himself. That has no convincing arguments with which to refute the other’s ideas. That his cognitive rigidity prevents him from talking. That his insecurity is so great that feels the need to insult. And that he’s not able to deal with the discomfort generated by what is different.
Not to say I am above hurling an insult or that I never have. Buy most times it is because I have been insulted and feel a need to reciprocate. And most times I regret it after I do. Simply because I have lowered myself to the same level as the person that insulted me. And most times I will not even respond to an insult. It is just not worthwhile. Often, when I do, I will try to use a little humor in response to an insult. But, as noted in the article above, I should just accept that there are people, for the psychological reasons noted, that can not help themselves
That's a sign of intelligence "to the degree that language is correlated with intelligence," said Professor Jay, who authored the study. "People that are good at language are good at generating a swearing vocabulary."
Swearing can also be associated with social intelligence, Professor Jay added.
