No wonder it is banned at all discussion sites
"Researchers at Keele University in England have concluded that the use of expletives may be beneficial when experiencing physical pain. Psychologists had student volunteers submerge their hands into icy water, and those who swore felt less pain and were able to endure the cold longer than test subjects who used neutral words.
Researchers speculate the reason may reside in the oldest evolutionary parts of the human brain. Psychologist Richard Stephens, who led the study, said swearing may have evolved as a way to help early man deal with risks that came from hunting or fighting off predators. But regardless of why uttering curse words seem to help with pain, he said: “I would advise people, if they hurt themselves, to swear.”
