We know that highly intelligent people tend to view the world and the things around them differently. Surprisingly, they also tend to be really proficient at hurling a creative swear word, says a new research. Contrary to the popular belief, it's not the less educated or dumb people who swear a lot.

Psychologists Kristin Joy of Marist College and Timothy Jay of Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts believe it may just be the opposite, which they state in their study.

I've said almost all of those.  That's just run of the mill southern stuff.  My redneck colloquialisms are much more entertaining, but they might actually be what your average sailor or truck driver says with a y'all thrown in here and there.

"Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master."

I think swear words are great for emphasis in certain situations.

But like redneck colloquialisms... It is the artful application of the words that make it successful - Anyone can swear like a muleskinner.

'Shakin' like a dog sh1ttin' peach pits'

Well then, service members and prior service should be making lots of friends then!

You thought the military was loved before, hell, you ain't seen shit yet if this becomes reality!

[SZonian]

Bring it up as a quote. He is changing the font on a middle letter, which for all intents, makes it not the word, and gets it past the filters.

Parlor tricks.

Am I being Gaslighted here? Is anyone else seeing this or is this one of my routine acid flashbacks from the early 90's?

@Frank Cannon

No, I see the F bombs writ large as well.  Must be some kind of formatting @Dexter is engaged with.

Psh, I dropped a pretty big hint, but yes, I am not a real wizard.
