At the workplace, however, swearing and abuse are not taken lightly, but Byrne provides a definite case of why swearing is good at the workplace. She stipulates that it is suitable for fitting in and team-building. However, it is right to say that swearing has negative impacts at the workplace as there many people who feel uncomfortable when the boss use inappropriate language.

The book can help people deal with pain, improve the mind, manage the emotions and work together as a team. The use of curse words such as fuck and bloody has always been having been considered a social taboo. Byrne has brought out these words that are viewed to be unfit for printing despite them being consistently used by people.

She continuously uses the unsayable words where she comes from the searing perspective in the evolving psychology. Sometimes it feels that some of the research in the book is mainly focused on swearing and gives the impression that she included larger subjects to broaden her scope.
