I believe that there is an inverse correlation between the use of profanity and level of intelligence. The more frequent someone curses while speaking, chances are that the lower their I.Q. is. Of course I have zero empirical evidence to support my hypothesis on this claim, other than only a few decades worth of personal observation. Nonetheless, my experience and keen Seinfeld-like sociological perception says that all signs point to yes. It's been said that "profanity is the common crutch of the conversational cripple", and I tend to agree. There are few things more vexatious to me than overhearing a conversation between two or more people who have trouble conjugating the verb to be, but have no trouble liberally using the F-word as a noun, verb, adjective, and dangling participle. This style of dialogue and the use of what I call "conversational profanity", is about as revealing about the participants as admiring the Kardashian sisters or cast members of The Jersey Shore. There's no rational or intelligent justification for it, and it more than likely proves that the subject at hand prefers reading People magazine over Time or Newsweek.
