Profanity for Humanity

Swearing helps reduce feelings of pain


Tis an old story, but I've only just come across this now.

And I always thought I swore and yelled and carried on because it gave me something to focus on other than the pain.

Hmmm...

Hunh.

I just swear 'cause it's like my normal mode of speech.

Yeah, me too.

We live in a townhouse, and the bottom floor is the garage and my office. I was walking down to get tot he office and twisted my ankle on the bottom landing. The resounding "MOTHERFUCKER" was both deliberate and viscerally satisfying.

Hunh.

I just swear 'cause it's like my normal mode of speech.

I found out that if I swear regularly the effect diminishes in time.
That is why I taught myself out of it.
Now when I use swear word my kids shut up, my husband suddenly remembers he got work to do outside the house and my cat runs under the bed. I like it better this way

I have the horrible habit of saying FUCK too much, I think it's from the Army. It's hard to make yourself understood in the Army without fuck being every other word.

my family tends to run when my voice gets shrill LOL Husband usually looks at the kids with a "what did you do to piss her off?" stare - coping mechanism for him, because it's usually NOT the kids!
