Fucking hell that's a bit shit ya dawg.

'Swearing Is Good For You' by Emma Byrne is a popular science book detailing the positive aspects of profanity. It tackles this by somewhat providing the who/what/when/where/why/how using case studies and observations. There is data mixed in with her own humour and research she conducted as a scientist.

I summarised the book as follows. "This was just about acceptable for me. I really prefer nuance but this book had what seemed an unnecessary agenda to really PROVE that swearing is a good thing (maybe because I'm Aussie I take that for granted). I'm not doubting any of the science she provided by overall it still felt a bit shallow and one-sided."

I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
