When you stub your toe, why does cursing actually seem to help?
I just saw a funny post on fb that said, “When I stub my toe it pushes a button that plays every curse word I know.” And it does. It’s like an automatic “SON OF A BITCH!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT!” Hurting myself in any other way doesn’t necessarily elicit that reaction.
So what’s up with that?
Using Fluther
