Why does it feel so good to use bad language? - CrowdScience, BBC World Service
Ғылым және технология
The sudden agony of stubbing a toe or burning a finger can make even the most polite of us swear our heads off. It’s like a reflex - a quick-release valve for the shock. But why do expletives give us such a sense of relief? Why does it sometimes feel so good to swear?

We set out to explore the science of swearing, prompted by a question from CrowdScience listener Gadi. Psychological studies have shown bad language can relieve pain, or even make us stronger; we test out these theories for ourselves and try to figure out why certain words are charged with such physical power.
We don’t just use strong words in shock or anger, either. They can help us to bond with others, to express joy, solidarity, or creativity. And although people curse all over the world, it’s not quite the same everywhere. We hear what people like to swear about in different countries, and whether swearing in a second language can ever be quite so satisfying.

Swearing is ALWAYS helpful, more descriptive, and more stress relieving. I f’king love it.

Especially that children like to use swearwords on purpose... is interesting
I'm a christian and i always do swear
I don't find swearing satisfying. I find it disgusting. Here in Russia it's our second language (( I think that shows how educated people are.
favourite words: 1) Cuntification = beyond frustration 2) Cuntificatified = ruined to the point of hideousness 3) Cuntilicious = much better than delicious 4) Cuntstipated = frigid.
If I lied I would be struck by lightning. I China we also say this one.
I'm a Christian and I don't swear but if I do I honestly feel really bad about it, not even good at all

@ Lily Flower I’m a Christian and sometimes I do swear. I always feel defeated and horrible afterwards. It *never* feels good.😞 I think telling people that it’s ok or acceptable, to do things that we know are wrong, is further destroying our society.
