Scientists from the University of Cambridge tried both a more intimate, smaller sample size of 276 people and then a larger sample of 74,000 via Facebook. They came to the same conclusion for each that the more you curse, the more likely you are to be an honest person.

In the smaller sample, the participants were asked how often they say or write curse words. Then researchers asked them for their honesty in answering questions, blaming others, cheating on games and taking advantage of others.

“There are two ways of looking at it. You might think if someone is swearing a lot, this is a negative social behavior,” David Stillwell, co-author of the study, told the Daily Mail. “On the other hand, they are not filtering their language so they are probably also not putting their stories about what is going on through similar filters which might turn them into untruths.”

Hmm. The Deplorables are actually the honest ones, and the NPR crowd are actually liars. Ain't that some ****?

Do Trump supporters curse more than other people?
 
The researchers asked the people that curse how honest they are. Like....dishonest people and honest people are both going to have the same answer to that question?

Ya know, the way I read it it's just as possible that people who swear are also more likely to lie. People who said they don't curse told the truth in the rest of the survey.

The story says, "Then researchers asked them for their honesty in answering questions, blaming others, cheating on games and taking advantage of others." I'm guessing this consisted of more than just asking people, "do you tell the truth?". It sounds like they observed people doing several activities, and determined the non cursers were actually more deceptive people in general.

With all the **** Trump signs and number of times I've heard it the last year, I would say they are about even.
