Our happy hour fact to amaze your pub-going pals with.

Husbands and wives who use "couple- focused" language fare better in fights.

Researchers taped 154 middle-aged and older couples discussing past conflicts. During the session, the scientists monitored participants' heart rates, body temperatures and amount of perspiration, as well as less physiological indicators of stress.

The couples who referred to themselves with inclusive pronouns like "we" and "us" became less agitated when recapping marital disagreements than couples who use individual pronouns like "I" and "you." Previous studies have suggested using "we" boosts overall marital satisfaction.

Regardless of these results, couples who call each other by the same pet name -- like "Shmoopy" -- still need to be socially shunned.
