In summary, British Linguist who studied MySpace pages discovered that females on said site curse equally as much as guys. That swear words reside in the right side of the brain, so the area of the brain damaged by strokes, (left side) doesn't really affect the capability of an individual(not gender specific) to swear. F and S seem to be the most common swear words.

The other thing of note was that cursing in groups promotes social bonding.

I'm not adverse to swearing, and there've been previous workplaces where swearing was pretty much mandatory... did anyone have anything interesting to say about the seven words you seldomly hear on tv?
