You know how swearing when you bang your toe on the coffee table just makes it feel so much better???  Well, swearing’s actually been shown to have pain-killing impact.

Cursing a blue streak over emotional pain too – let’s say a breakup – is good for what ails you too, according to a small but intriguing New Zealand study, which is said to be the first investigation of its kind.

The reason why f-bombs and such have a healing effect? They distract the person in pain and reduce the intensity of the ache.

But the researcher does caution that cursing isn’t a fix for ALL of our negative emotions. It can’t relieve the deep emotional pain of grieving and other serious issues.

Moreover, swearing constantly over every little thing can weaken its cathartic impact.

So – Swear wisely, people!  @#$%!!!
