Dropping the F-Bomb Increases Pain Tolerance
Quote | Reply
Fuck yeah! I knew there was a reason I dropped the f-bomb so often!


LONDON — Can’t help but shout an expletive every time you stub your toe? Don’t feel too bad, you may actually be doing yourself a favor. A new study finds that swearing when injured has a measurable effect on pain tolerance. In fact, dropping the F-bomb specifically when in pain increases tolerance by up to 33%.
The study, led by a group of language and psychology experts in the United Kingdom, explored how effective established, new, and invented swear words can be in increasing pain tolerance and pain threshold.

I did my own n=1 study a long time ago when I fractured my patellas while doing a back flip on concrete.
It wasn't just the f-bomb. Pretty much all screamed profanity worked better than following other two methods that were tried in quick succession:

1.) kung fu like concentration
2.) crying

If that's true, the woman down the hall from me when I was giving birth shouldn't have needed any drug intervention at all....
