That language study was the same study I saw on Facebook two years ago. It doesn't mean what they claim it means. Taboo word usage correlates w/ neuroticism and openness, and independent of language fluency (common belief is anticorrelation.) http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S038800011400151X …
Oversimplifications and falsehoods that reinforce my biases feel better than your facts. I like to feel good so I'll do the dumb thing and believe that my choice of language, chaos, and lack of sleep are all indicators for how smart I am. :)
