Peter Capaldi as profane spin doctor Malcolm Tucker in The Thick Of It
Some boffins were left thunderstruck
When they sat down to take a good look
At those who converse
With swear word and curse
And the benefits made them cry “Fuck!”

Malcom Tucker is my all time favorite fictional (but disturbingly real) character. I believe they hired a separate profanity writer for his script.
Armando is God.

This is old news, is it not?
The study was a measure of physical performance, not conversation as per the limerick.
I work on building-sites and farms so while a grunt or expletive aids a physical exertion or relieves a mental frustration, directing it at someone is unconstructive and a signal failure of interpersonal skills.
(A lot of sports utilise the grunt or sharp exhale- weight-lifting, tennis, martial arts among others- it may simply be a way to tense the core or torso)
So Dubliner teenagers are some of the strongest and Guardian readers are some of the weakest. And Moynes is scenes of moderate violence.
