Study: Swearing helps sufferers endure pain

New research shows swearing after injury could ease your pain.

It follows a study at Keele University in the UK where people put their hands in a bucket of ice cold water, while swearing repeatedly.

They then repeated the exercise, repeating a harmless phrase instead.

The study showed that when they were allowed to let fly with foul language, the students were able to tolerate the pain longer.
