I'm more likely to grunt or growl when lifting something heavy than using profanity, but I may try it now

The aardvark is a rather quiet animal. However, it does make soft grunting sounds

Sure, but I have nothing to compare it too, since I've never intentionally restrained myself from using profanity either.

Would you be comparing it now to see if it does improve your performance ir resolution for a task?

No, I seldom do anything strenuous enough to warrant swearing and I'm certainly not going to stop swearing at the cold wind when I'm outside.

It seems and it's quite common there. It's not so common here in Indian culture. We have our words but you risk losing all of your respect if you ever try one.
However India is still largely a masculine society and I've often listened man use profanity in conversations but not surely to increase performance. It's just common.
