Who doesn't love a good swear word? 

This week we unpack the history of swearing, why certain words are taboo, and how society decides what’s offensive. We explore the emotional psychology behind curse words, how swearing has evolved over time, and why yelling an expletive can sometimes feel surprisingly therapeutic.

Plus:

  • Our favorite swear words
  • Proof that farts have always been funny
  • Tiktok Trends that live rent free in our brains
  • A historical swearing game
  • And a completely necessary Nicolas Cage/ Eminem crossover. (SMASH)

If you love psychology, bizarre culture deep-dives, tangents and a little chaos.. we got you.
