Very interesting.

I didn't read the all article yet but for me it's true
It works!

While occupied swearing, I'm a bit distracted from the hurtful pain.

same here.

swearing does help me to deal with pain, eg when i drop something heavy on my foot.

Cool.

Swearing is only allowed in our house when you're in physical pain, or if something really bad just happened (that's the official line, anyway, in practice we can get away with swearing a lot more).

I must be in a lot of never-ending pain heh.

Swearing is my art form and I paint the air blue all around me

That does too make sense, dammit!

Oh ! Are you in pain Douglas?

Remember kids: If you get hurt..... DROP THE F-BOMB!!

*hits hammer on thumb* Oh... fudge... thats... broken.

*steps on rusty nail* FFFFFiddle-dee-dee. That would require a tecnis shot.

it does seem to be the first thing that comes to mind when that big toe is stubbed.

Oww...

f**k you!


Haha.

Sometmes its not just pain, but suprise. While walking in my hometown of Laramie, WY, I tend to trip a lot when walking on the sidewalk because the @#$% trees grow underneath the sidewalk and force parts of it upward. I'll be walking along, my toe will hit one of these raised parts, and when that happens... well, let's be glad the F-bomb and the A-bomb are like in name alone.

And in asterisks!

someone bumbs into you and you yell Oh Asterisk-Asterisk-Asterisk-Asterisk.
