SWEAR words, huh ?

Although the news might not stop parents from letting their kids cuss, it turns out that cussing may be a good thing. A study suggests that four-letter words may help alleviate pain. Before the study, participants were asked to write down five words they might say after putting their hand in cold chilly water. When people had a swear word for their mantra, or chant, popular choices were: the s-word, the f-word, two b-words and a c-word, they were able to keep a hand in the chilly water longer. People who swore reported less pain. Swearing helped both sexes keep their hands in cold water longer. Women said it relieved a great amout of pain after the experiment. I personally think that swear words are okay sometimes , when you use them the right way. You stil shouldnt use them all the time , because it is still bad. I also agree that it does relieve pain or anger. This study was a great idea.
