Cuss Words

Dr. Jameca Cooper breaks down research showing people who curse regularly live longer, report higher happiness, and experience lower stress and pain. Strategic profanity works as a stress-management tool, but context matters: save it for outside work and class.

Hi! Today I want to talk about what's news. Get it? News. Today I want to tell you about a brand new study that just recently came out about one of my favorite things: curse words. I love 'em, I love 'em, I love 'em. If anyone knows me, they know that I use a nice little variety of curse words in my daily language. If you've ever been a patient of mine, you know that I throw them in here and there just for a little color, a little liveliness in a session, just to get the point across. But now I have really good research behind me. New research says that people who use cuss words live longer are happier and are healthier. And they've even found out that if you use curse words in certain situations, you can experience less pain. Won't he do it? Yes, he will. I've known this my whole life because, like I said, I use them all day, every day, and it feels good to use them. And I've always told people that I believe that it reduces my stress. Well, now we know that it does. What else can you learn about curse words? Studies also show that people who don't use curse words have a difficulty dealing with crisis when they're in certain situations. So in other words, them holding back and not expressing their stress or their frustration doesn't really help them in the long run. So what did you learn from this news today? You learn that you might wanna curse more. There are certain situations where only curse words help. Only a good curse word can really make that situation or that phrase right. For an example, you're in traffic, you're driving down the street, somebody cuts you off on the highway. You don't say, "Oh." No, what do you say? "Blankhole," right? Because that's what he is, 'cause he just cut you off on the highway. So, what else? Someone breaks in front of you in line if you're in a grocery store, what do you think? You don't think, "Oh, poor little soul." You think blank hole or blankety blank, ends with an er. Often said by Samuel L. Jackson. One of my favorite words, damn. That's a good one. But how about that other 4-letter word that starts with a shh? Use it often. If it helps you feel better, if it helps you to relieve anxiety and stress, do it, do it, do it. It's free as long as you're in the right place, as long as you're in the right context. You can use it without getting in trouble, right? You don't want to do it in class, you don't want to do it at work. Anytime outside of those, do it. It's a coping mechanism. It's a stress management technique. Do it, do it more. Like I do. I don't have very much stress because I use my words correctly. Today you've learned what's news from Dr. Jameca Cooper.
