Worried About Swearing Too Much? Science Says You Shouldn't Be
People who swear like a sailor are more honest and more intelligent, studies show.

The Absolute Best Swear Word For You

Scientifically speaking, swearing is good for you. It deadens pain and enlivens our emotional discourse. We know that its effects are physiological as well as psychological; it raises our heart rates and releases adrenaline whenever we use it. And taboo language is so fundamental to the way we communicate that even potty-trained chimps can invent their own swearing.
Try and get away with it with the staff here, lol

irrigardless it was added to the dictionary because of its near-constant use since 1795

circular logic I like this when people use it in a sentence not wanting to hear the other persons far out belief. It makes me laugh.

Goes without saying. I try not to say it because it seems insulting
"Six of a dozen, half of one or the other."
Guillotine is also French.
Was invented by an Englishman by the name of William; don't know the French word for 'William' but another Romance Language, Spanish, has it: Guillermo.

Btw, 97.2 % of claims made are merely speculation ......probably.

Is 'oxymoron' like a bleach blonde?

Or wait, is this a politically correct site?

"just fell off of a turnip truck"
"his elevator doesn't go all the way to the top"
Not in a bad way, only as a personal joke. For instance I used to say "I didn't just fall off a turnip truck" I'd say to my daughter when she would make a remark like, "you didn't know?"
When I first heard that one I had to have it explained to me, I didn't get it but I had no problem with the elevator, lol, but that's the life of a blonde, l:doh:.
Hmmm? Maybe I still don't get it. What's a turnip truck have to do with a persons intelligence? How about an oakey fanokey's truck? or lesser smarts truck. This is not easy even for me.:)
Or perhaps the person who originally coined the phrases wasn't so brilliant?

The turnip encounters a hard, rude,
