People who swear have a bigger vocabulary

[Soubriquet]

Watching duck quacks don't echo and apparently scientists have discovered that people who swear have a bigger vocabulary.

It's not longer uncouth.

Swear away!

Really ?

Apparently so.

But then only swearers can come up with cunting wankbadger

No fucking way!

Rubbish

It's probably true. I know all the normal words- and the rude ones too.

A bigger vocabulary or swear words or non swear words?

Bigger vocabulary in general

Well obviously! We have English, profane and obscene. One language and two schools of swearing. Got to be good.

Google says yes too

Ducks quacks do echo

So busy making my link clicky, I forgot the apostrophe and full stop.

But its still true that us sweary folk have a biiger vocabulary.
IDK why thats hard to believe. Not swearing involves an effort and self censorship. Thats the opposite of using your imagination and being open minded.

Do your children say cunt and tell you to fuck off?

The TV show is called Duck Quacks Don't Echo

Totally agree Jelly. Obviously there's a time and a place but I'm a big fan of swearing

Only by about ten words, surely?

Do your children say cunt and tell you to fuck off

Does my 3 and 1 year old say cunt and tell me to fuck off?

Really?

That's what you have to say?

Are you someone who doesn't like swear words? Is that it?

Oh so your children's vocabulary is never going to be any good then I'd it according to you. You said you liked swearing. ..

The Never Appropriate camp believes being able to do something means you have to do it all the time regardless of context

Oh ffs

I'm sorry. I must have taken the wrong turning into buzzkill alley

Since I thought adults have a fucking sense of humour

My DD2 has an amazing vocab, swears like a fucking trooper tho but I think that has been improved by her ex copper/builder stepdad.

It isn't quite true.

Those who swear more frequently do not necessarily have a greater vocabulary, those who use (or more accurately are aware of) a wide range of swear words also have a wider vocabulary generally. Which is hardly surprising. Peppering every other word with a fuck or a cunt isn't in itself a sign of linguistic fluency in itself sadly.

Mind you I did once ask a friend of my Uncle whether he'd managed to fix his car and he responded with 'The fucking,fucker's fucked'. In constructing a complete sentence using only one word which isn't 'fuck' or a variant thereof was quite impressive.

Actually when DD2 was very young she turned to her dad and said 'where are my fucking shoes' and then repeated it when he said what? (not pardon)

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a fucking lung disease contracted from the fucking inhalation of very fine fucking silica particles, specifically from a fucking volcano; medically, it is the same as fucking silicosis.
