Women holding up two middle fingers.

I am a Scouser living in Glasgow which means you can assume three things about me: my family are aggressively working class, I have a soft spot for dockyards and I LOVE to swear.

I don’t even think about it, it’s just so enjoyable. Nothing quite punctuates a sentence like a healthy f-bomb and getting into a healthy gossip session absolutely requires being able to dish out the delicious c-word.

However, I do know that for some people, it can be offputting and make them uncomfortable. I’m careful in polite company and wouldn’t ever want to make somebody needlessly uncomfortable so I had planned to tame my spicy tongue a little until I heard that actually, swearing is good for your health.

How does swearing benefit your health?
