Damn Right!

On August 10, TIME ran an article called "Why Swearing is Good for You."

Studies show it not only vents frustration, but can actually alleviate physical pain.

Even though my dad was a military man, cursing was limited to "darn" in our household. "Butt" was off-limits, though its utterance on TV would dissolve we girls into giggles.

Likewise, we weren't allowed to say "fart," but rather used the oddly violent euphemism "shoot a bunny."

As someone with an, ahem, colorful vocabulary, I'm gratified to learn that a well-timed curse offers a myriad of benefits.

@#$%^&*!
