Well, OCBW - maybe he's a swag-bellied malt-worm, a surly, dizzy-eyed rats bane, a craven hedge-born lewdster, an errant pottle-deep pignut, a fawning toad-spotted scut, a spongy flap-mouthed lout, a mewling, clay-brained maggot-pie, and a paunchy, rude-growing flap-dragon, but he's NOT an urchin of any kind.

This is true. He grew right out of urchin and right into carpet-bagger vagabond. That's a whole 'nother level right there.

Why the #$%! Do We Swear? For Pain Relief

Bad language could be good for you, a new study shows. For the first time, psychologists have found that swearing may serve an important function in relieving pain.

The study, published today in the journal NeuroReport, measured how long college students could keep their hands immersed in cold water. During the chilly exercise, they could repeat an expletive of their choice or chant a neutral word. When swearing, the 67 student volunteers reported less pain and on average endured about 40 seconds longer.

Although cursing is notoriously decried in the public debate, researchers are now beginning to question the idea that the phenomenon is all bad. "Swearing is such a common response to pain that there has to be an underlying reason why we do it," says psychologist Richard Stephens of Keele University in England, who led the study. And indeed, the findings point to one possible benefit: "I would advise people, if they hurt themselves, to swear," he adds.

I can debunk this - I had a finger get trapped between a couch we were moving and a pallet we were putting it on this past weekend.

It fucking hurt then, it fucking hurts now. I'm still swearing about it. Myth debunked, the fucks.

When that fingernail finally turns black and falls off, don't forget to put it under your pillow so the Fingernail Fairy can leave you a nice treat.

i'm almost embarrassed to admit this:

i've cursed only twice in my life. each time i was under 10 years old. i choose not to curse not for religious reasons. plain and simple, it's just a habit i've never picked up. can't really say why.

yes, i do actually say "gosh," "gosh darnit," and "dagnabbit."

I tend to think anyone who uses are word repeatedly to much needs to increase their vocabulary. "Fuck" or "Fuckin" shouldn't be the noun, verb or adjective of every sentence. It just sounds plain ignorant.

Prime example "I was doing fuckin' laundry"

or

"Fuckin kid never called me back"



Sadly my brother grew to be one such person. Hence why I avoid him at family get togethers.
