Swearing can make you stronger, study finds

“Swearing is literally a calorie-neutral, drug-free, low-cost, readily available tool at our disposal for when we need a boost in performance.”

Researchers found that people who swore reported higher levels of psychological “flow”, a state in which people become immersed in an activity in a pleasant, focused way.

Dr Stephens added: “In many situations, people hold themselves back — consciously or unconsciously — from using their full strength.

“Swearing is an easily available way to help yourself feel focused, confident and less distracted, and ‘go for it’ a little more.”
