Swearing Will Relieve Your Physical and Emotional Pain

Studies have shown that swearing can help relieve your physical pain, like stubbing a toe or something. Now a new study shows that it'll help you out when you get your feelings hurt too.

He took 70 people and split them into two groups, then he tested them for feelings of social and physical pain. They were then randomly told to swear aloud or say a non-swear word.
