LONDON — Can’t help but shout an expletive every time you stub your toe? Don’t feel too bad, you may actually be doing yourself a favor. A new study finds that swearing when injured has a measurable effect on pain tolerance. In fact, dropping the F-bomb specifically when in pain increases tolerance by up to 33%.

The study, led by a group of language and psychology experts in the United Kingdom, explored how effective established, new, and invented swear words can be in increasing pain tolerance and pain threshold."

Can’t wait to bring that to my principal’s attention. I wonder if it’s good for emotional pain as well.

So does smiling. A concentrated smile can increase pain tolerance. So try dropping the F Bomb with a classic Joker grin.
