    Swearing has more benefits than you may think — from improving your workouts to bonding with your coworkers

    • The average American utters 80 to 90 curse words every day — that's about five swears every hour.
    • Swearing can have benefits from relieving stress or pain, to helping you bond with your coworkers.
    • Cursing while working out may even give you an extra boost of energy.

    Americans are cursing more today than ever before. In fact, the average American utters 80 to 90 curse words every day. That's about five curse words every waking hour. And it might not be in vain. Turns out, swearing may help make you live a happier, healthier life in the long-run.

    When you stub your toe and holler your favorite dirty, four-letter word, You're actually doing yourself a favor. Swearing has been known to raise your heart rate, which can help reduce the pain. For example, one study found that people who held their hand in icy water while cursing lasted 50% longer than the people who used neutral words — like "wooden" and "flat."
    And if you're still not convinced that you should curse more, consider this: Swearing could be the key to improving your workouts. Researchers asked people to curse while riding a stationary bike and holding a device that measured handgrip strength. Wouldn't you know it, participants pedaled faster and gripped stronger while spewing their favorite expletives. And swearing won't just help you get more fit, it can also reduce stress and anxiety.

    In fact, the average American is already dumbed-down enough and doesn't need a f*cking piece of sh^t article promoting crude Trump-like behavior. No offense intended to the "male enhanced_deficit" of an OP who posted the f*cking piece of sh^t article.

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an
    Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

    I like to swear. I've always liked to do it. When I was little, my favorite word was $#@! and I used it at every opportunity. My mom would get mad but my dad would let me whisper it in his ear.
