In my opinion, people who show that they think this make themselves look
stupid.

I don't believe that there is any correlation between intelligence and
curse word usage.

However, I do believe that there is a strong (negative) correlation
between intelligence and prejudices.

way related to "cleanness" of language. These are two completely
independent subjects.
