According to a new study from Britain's Keele University, swearing can make you feel better as it can have a "pain-lessening effect." Researchers had subjects holding their hands in ice water and found that volunteers who were swearing were able to keep their hands in the ice water for a longer time.  
 
Study co-author Richard Stephens said, "Swearing has been around for centuries and is an almost universal human linguistic phenomenon. It taps into emotional brain centers and appears to arise in the right brain, whereas most language production occurs in the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain."  
 
How much would you say you swear? Do you toss f-bombs into pretty much every conversation - even when you're talking to your boss ... your parents ... your kids?
