Despite the common cry that cursing makes people sounds less intelligent, research suggests it may actually be a sign of a solid vocabulary.

Benjamin Bergen, professor of Cognitive Science at UC San Diego, is the author of "What the F: What Swearing Reveals About Our Language, Our Brains, and Ourselves." He tells CBS Los Angeles people who swear the most "also have the biggest vocabulary overall."

A 2014 study by the Language Sciences Journal found people who use swear words are often more articulate on other areas. The experiment asked 49 participants ages 18 to 22 to say as many swear words as they could in 60 seconds.

Those who used the most swear words were also able to name more animals in the same amount of time.

According to the Daily Mail, another group of researchers say swearing can also be an emotional coping mechanism, making us feel like we can bounce back more easily in difficult times.

I've never really thought people had a limited vocabulary because they cussed. Cussing has its place, and certainly enhances communication sometimes. I'd much rather tell someone to go fuck themselves than 'get a life' or 'eat my shorts'.

But I've also heard people superfluously use cuss words and I tune out. There's some comedian that uses the n-word as a comma or a period. It's just unappealing. I remember Eddie Murphy's Delirious being so popular, then Raw came out and people hated it because it was too much cussing. Not that people were offended by fuck, just that it overshadowed the story telling. 223 times in 90-minutes is a lot of fucks given. Oddly, it's still the #1 stand-up movie ever.

I never tipped the swear jar. I jerked off into it.

Ironically, I just received a t-shirt in the mail yesterday that says, in big white letters BEARD THE FUCK UP on the front of it.

Who the fuck listens to this shit? Honestly - 49 people aged 18-22 (probably University students) who list a corpus of swear words and then a corpus of animals is representative of the total vocabulary of all of us? Bullshit!

I always wonder who is actually carrying out these "studies" and how much money they're making.

Well this study was obviously funded by The National Swearing Sailors Organization.
