Since I usually only swear a lot when I'm extremely angry and in a rage, that must mean my intelligence goes up. And it sure has made me lots of friends instead of seeing me as a danger to them. Sarcasm, duh. :roll:

This seems like a shaky premise, at best.

I didn't know that people that swear make better friends, but that they are more intelligent is old news as far as I know. Anecdotally - I have never heard an intelligent person complaining about swearing.

As a kid I often heard a portion of adults observing that people who swore had small vocabularies.

Mind you, they were all adults with smaller vocabularies than I had as a preteen. :nerdy:

People who say such things don't know how to swear creatively.

Although you can certainly swear without swearing in corporate speak if you're passive-aggressive enough. :lol:
