Most people have their favorite curse word, but a mathematician used their coding skills to create a new one deemed the world’s ultimate swear word<\/strong>. Shutterstock \/ Suzanne Tucker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A mathematician has created an entirely new curse word based on a list of 186 offensive terms – and she said it is ‘the world’s ultimate swear word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophie Maclean, a student at\u00a0Kings College\u00a0London<\/a>, found ‘banger’ is the supreme offensive term, or ‘ber’ for short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researcher fed a list<\/a>\u00a0of popular ‘bad words’ to a computer model, which then found the supreme word begins with the letter ‘b,’ has four letters and ends in ‘-er.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mclean found that when no inputs were given, the model made up words like ‘ditwat.’\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maclean told BBC Science Focus<\/a>: ‘I think neither is as satisfying as a ‘f*ck’ when you’ve stubbed your toe, or a ‘sh*t’ when you realize you’ve forgotten your parent’s birthday. But both feel like they could be quite good insults for people.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mathematician used a Markov chain in this work, which is a model describing a sequence of possible events in which the probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
