Hi Karen -
On the issue of swearing, which I am also prone to do, I have to add here that swearing has medicinal properties. Normally, I'm very friendly out in public. But once I said 'W_T_F?!?' with a bank representative, and she blew back 4 feet in her wheely chair.
Bad language could be good for you, a new study shows. For the first time, psychologists have found that swearing may serve an important function in relieving pain.
The study, published today in the journal NeuroReport, measured how long college students could keep their hands immersed in cold water. During the chilly exercise, they could repeat an expletive of their choice or chant a neutral word. When swearing, the 67 student volunteers reported less pain and on average endured about 40 seconds longer.
