\begin{abstract}
Hi! I'm Ben Bergen, a Professor of Cognitive Science at UC San Diego. I
study language, and my most recent book What the F is about the science
of swearing. Profanity is special---it's processed differently in the
brain and it triggers different psychological reactions from neutral
language. So there's a lot that it can uniquely reveal. But for the most
part, there's been very little research on it because of persistent
taboos. Even tenured professors can lose their jobs for using the wrong
words in lecture. So for the duration of its history, the science of
language has mostly been the science of anodyne words. It's like
studying biology but ignoring reproduction because it makes you
uncomfortable. I invite you to join me in taking some corrective
measures. I'll be online today at 1pm EDT to answer your questions. Feel
free to ask me about the neuroscience, psychology, linguistics,
sociology, or history of taboo words and gestures. Consider yourself
trigger-warned. Update 3.00pm ET Thanks for all your great questions!
I'm going to take a break, but I'll check back later today, so if you
have any more questions I'll do my best to answer them!%
