…and to manage your expectations, it’s probably not what you think. Mathematics student Sophie Maclean has created a code that has come up with a brand new swear. After it was fed a list of 45 existing curses, the word it spat out was ‘banger’, or ‘ber’ for short. Yep, maths reckons the perfect swear is a word that means a sausage or song that’s good to dance to, depending on which generation you ask… If you’re scratching your head, the code created the word after calculating the likely characteristics of the perfect swear word. It determined it was likely to begin with ‘b’ and end in ‘-er’, and it filled out the letters in between. And when the code wasn’t fed a list of existing swears, it came up with the word  ‘ditwat’. Maclean admitted ‘banger’ isn’t as fun to say as other profanities – but at least it’s kid-friendly…
