You might think you know everything there is to know about swearing. But the words that shock, excite, and offend us are commonly used and wildly under appreciated. Swearing can improve our health, punch up our points, and help us seem genuinely trustworthy. Or it can offend, damage our credibility, and have expensive social costs. Profanity is an almost universal form of language that we’re rarely taught to leverage for its full potential.
This webinar, with writer and Good Shout facilitator Na’Imah Laurent-Dixon, explores what our favourite swear words reveal about our cultural values, how swearing well can help you to say it better, and what pitfalls to avoid if you want to curse without ruining your relationships or your career.
