Would you agree that cursing somehow seems to help when you hurt yourself?

After I smashed my fingernail (instead of hitting the tent-peg) with a rock, I felt faint. Blood appeared, throbbing pain increased...but cursing out loud seemed to really help me stay focused and not pass out...

And on the plus-side: I didn't carry my first-aid kit for nothing this hiking trip.

I find a string of 15 or more expletives usually makes anything feel much better. :)

It does distract your mind from the pain and somehow feels better than yelling, "I'VE BEEN HURT!!"

[☠northy]

Yes…. Kind of odd when you think about it!

Ouchee, that looks really painful. Cursing followed by crying usually works for me.

[Dianne]

Ouch!

Unfortunately cursing is only a temporary fix
