Listen below:
Tune in weekdays for 10-min daily news roundups:
How often do you use swear words? If they’ve become a more regular part of your vocabulary, you’re not alone. Research shows Americans have been cursing more often since the onset of the pandemic.
We’ll get into the history of curse words, and where they get their power, with the man who wrote the book on profanity, Michael Adams. He’s a linguist and English professor at Indiana University. But first, we have author and executive coach May Busch. She explains when it’s ok, even encouraged, to use curse words at work and when to avoid it. And don’t worry, there aren’t any curse words actually said until the second half of this episode. We’ll warn you first.
