Is it a sign of intelligence if you don't use expletives when you speak? Especially during times when you're arguing with someone in anger?
>>
>>34956651
>expletives
That's not a word
>>
>>34956651
Absolutely, because it can mean that you have a broad vocabulary so you don't necessarily need to use expletives
>>
>>34956672
Good
>>
>>34956651
Swearing tends to lower the variety of vocabulary that people use because for them there's a simpler and more cathartic way to express that you're being a nigger without having to give you an essay on the Phenomenology of Spirit, let alone reading Hegel.
I love how OP is trying to retroactively assert that he's smarter than the retard he was arguing with because he called him mean words lmao.
>>
>>34956651
Interestingly, no. Intelligent people swear more, not less. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S038800011400151X

>>34956651
It is not the "dirty words" that are the problem; it is the complete lack of imagination that usually accompanies them. "Fuckin" has become just a space-filler for too many people, as meaningless as "ya know," turning what should be a potent expression of emotion into boring meaninglessness.
>>
There's more than just "fuck" and "shit" anon. Using a wide variety of swears can help express yourself even better. You cunt faggot, gorge yourself on a plethora of dicks.
>>
>>34956811
fuck shit ass bitch muddafakka
>>
>>34956651
Nope, no matter how ardently you wish it were.
>>
>>34957116
Nah, it is. You're just being stubborn.
>>
>>34956651
Arguing with someone in anger is in and of itself a sign of low intelligence. High intelligence would be arguing dispassionately out of love for truth and the edification of mankind.
>>
>>34957193
Yeah sometimes I have to remind myself of that Einstein quote, intelligent people ignore. There is practically never a rational reason to let something get to you
>>
“Thou clay-brained guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou whoreson obscene greasy tallow-catch!” (Shakespeare, Henry IV, Part 1)
>>
>>34956651
No.
>>
>>34957193
So if my neighbors are always arguing, fighting, calling each other names, yelling loudly for everyone to hear, is that low intelligence or passionate love for each other?
>>
>>34957271
Yes, and very much so.
>>
>>34957275
What about >>34956780
Science backs me, you fool.
>>
>>34956780
>>34957278
The myth which stated in the article is about frequency of swearing, not range of curse words used. People who swear frequently don’t always have a repertoire of curse words
>>
Oooo i know billions of words but i still like ‘fuuck’
>>
>>34957847
Fuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkk
>>
>>34956661
Look it up, it is.
>>
>>34956651
It can be, but I would say it's less a sign of intelligence and more a sign that you're able to control yourself, which in itself can be a sign of intelligence.
>>
>>34958366
That's exactly what I'm saying, bitch. Thank you, motherfucker. I appreciate your fucking input on this motherfucking issue.
>>
>>34956780
I argue that intelligent people went out of their way to curse more frequent and use variety to skew the study because it would be funny. It's what I would do at least. I almost never swear otherwise.
>>
>>34958390
lol so they trolled the study for the lols fucking brilliant hahahaha
>>
>>34958361
Damn right, nigger. That is a motherfucking legit ass fucking motherfucking faggot ass bitch fuck shit ass fucking word, you motherfucking cock sucking moththerfucker faggot cunt dick fucker.
>>
who gives a shit about swearing
i've known extremely foul mouthed academics, officers, and leaders
intelligence and swearing are mutually exclusive. now about communicating that intelligence? who gives a fuck, do they make the right calls or not
ex-military so
>>
>>34959049
>ex-military
You motherfucking maggot DROP DOWN AND GIVE ME FIFTY
>>
>>34956672
Very good

>>34956651
Dumb retard nigger. I have a tested mean IQ of significantly more than average and I swear all the time. It is just language. I despise with a passion zoomers who never lived outside of a digital walled garden and school. Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on. Stop censoring yourself out of fear you retarded cunt. Be you, and fucking swear.

Also if your analysis had merit then this wouldn't be the case:

USA IQ = 102.7
Bangladesh IQ = 74.3

The United States ranked first, with profanity making up 0.036% of all words analyzed. That's equivalent to about 36 curse words in every 100,000 words.

Bangladesh had the lowest rate of swearing, with only 0.007% of words being vulgar, just 7 curse words per 100,000 words.
>>
>>34968597
Nah, intelligent people don't swear. That's a basic fact of life.
>>
>>34969179
It's definitely a strong indicator of good character, that's for sure.
>>
>>34968597
IQ and intellect are two different things. IQ is a measuring tool for the intellect and it only determines the level of basic problem-solving, while intelligence includes social skills, erudition and complex problem-solving. Perhaps swearing is more fit to smart people rather than intellligent ones ,as being smart has more to do with practice than genetics
>>
>>34970015
>Perhaps swearing is more fit to smart people
Answer me this, why do subhumans swear then? It's certainly not because they're intelligent.
>>
>>34970055
They aren't 'intelligent' but nobody restricts them to be smart, since being smart is about knowing and being intelligent is about understanding.
