I agree with Lizz I will use it as an excuss because I would totally help me

I wonder if it really does help though? I haven't noticed. I'm not a chronic cusser, I think I do an extremely good job of choosing my words depending on where I am and who I'm with. I recently decided that when I get hurt I'm going to start saying "meow" instead of "ow" though. I'm that cool.

maybe it takes your mind off the pain.. but idk about releiving pain..

I can completely believe this because when ever i hurt myself, wheather i mean to or not i always swear.

This is quite interesting i have cussed before yet i can neither confirm nor deny that it helps as it seems that i have always swore when injured its just a release.

yeah...i heard this on the radio. its strange that they actually did an experiment on it, i already knew it helps lower your blood pressure or whatever it does.

I knew it!!!! From this point on when i get hurt im just going to swear like theres no tomorrow. Just to see if it works.

It does kind of make sense I guess. I don't usually cuss much, but everytime I do hurt myself some cuss words do come out and it does help.
