No S*** We Are Swearing More

According to a British Board of Film Classification survey, we are swearing more these days and the first thing we should ask is what the f*** has it got to do with them and then no s*** we are swearing more, what you expect after the year we just had!
Six out of every 10 of us now use 'strong language' (that’s stuff like f*** and s*** and b******* but without the asterisks) in our daily lives and the science bit is that we use it as a release valve but some people i know don't need an excuse, they just f****** love swearing.
I did see a report a while ago where psychologists discovered that swearing is a form of emotional pain relief and they gave us the red light to eff and jeff all we like as long as we say that it was in the act of relieving the agony of stubbing a toe, walking into a lamppost or spending the past 14 months cooped up inside with a complete w******.
Personally it isn't very often that i pull out the big guns of swearing, preferring to stick to their softer and more acceptable cousins although i do find a well timed 'bad' swearword to be very effective and in some circumstances, and from certain people, very funny.
There are some people who manage to cram in more swearwords than regular words into their sentences which isn't very pleasing to the ear but maybe they are constantly in pain, like having a Barry Manilow earworm because that has to be painful. I'd be swearing like a Sailor also if i got him warbling 'Mandy' in my brain on a loop.
Now if only psychologists can find some way to excuse some of society's other shady areas such as people who use the word literally wrongly and say 'Not being rude...' before saying something rude. I expect Science may say otherwise but my hypothesis is that they are just f***** morons.
