To the extent that swearing is cathartic, it makes perfect sense that doing it can relieve stress and make you more calm and lead to positive health outcomes.
Unless doing it causes your mother to inflict blunt force trauma about your head and shoulders. So consider that health factor, too.

Hell yeah.
I heard a lot of folk overdo it on swearing,with every other word a cuss word.
Does this also work for swearing in Klingon?
+Scott Randel If it helps you express your inner Klingon rage, I would think so. 🙂
Just to add my two cents here, from a sociological/psychological point of view: +Scott Randel As long as your brain perceives you are using whatever words would be considered 'swearing' I believe the effect should still occur.
Amusingly, It's possible to consider all sorts of things 'swearing'. My father once worked with a Tourettes patient who would 'swear' by using biblical terms. He was often heard shouting things like "Abraham!" or "Moses!" and things like that because he was brought up in a VERY strongly religious family and that's what his brain considered blasphemous. I find it rather amusing that this particular condition focuses on whatever is considered blasphemous to the individual, and uses it in excess. (not that having the condition itself is funny, it can be quite a challenge! not making fun of them!)
So I think if you use the appropriate terms in Klingon, as long as you feel they are blasphemous enough, the effect should still be applicable.
Furthermore, our minds can consider A LOT of things blasphemous so I wouldn't be surprised if someone yelling out all the names of the entire line of Barbie dolls starting with the original might work for them, or something else equally silly. As long as the mind considers it blasphemous to do so, that's probably all it takes.
