Swearing when hurt

[Plaidman]

I didn't know where to put this really, but does anyone else swear when they get hurt? Like drop a anvil on your foot scream goddamn, or sonofabitch?

I've notice that everyone I know does some swear word over even saying ow.

[Hobbs]

I use "Dang it!" or some other 'replacement' word...usually 'Frak' or 'Gorram!'

[Wingates_Hellsing]

I used to use placeholder curses before I realized that words are just words.

Now I quote the bartender in Boondock Saints when I get hurt "Fuck! Ass!"

Depends on the level of pain.

Minor to moderate, "placeholders" (frick, frack, damn, crap, bugger, etc)
Moderate to heavy, genuine article (fuck, shit, etc)
Heavy to severe, Too much pain to bother, let it go down, then start up.
Severe and up, unconscious at that point.

I swear like a sailor Need to work on that

I have a potty mouth, I'll admit, and I blaspheme like crazy. I swear when I get hurt, aggravated, frustrated, etc. I picked up some good ones from Penn and Teller's Bullshit like "Jesus the Jew!" (The episode on profanity is not to be missed.) Other favorites, "Jesus H. Christ" and "Christ on a Cross" along with your usual fucks, damns, shits, assholes, etc.

If you aren't willing to say "Damn it!" then why say "Darn it!" It means exactly the same thing.

Where as I'm know to quote Rocko's demonstration of the versatility of a certain word.

[Greenday]

Fuck or shit are usually the only ones I drop when I hurt myself. Son of a bitch or some more extreme version of this works well too.

For those of you unfamiliar with that certain word's versatility, I refer you to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7d1dm99IJ4

Possibly NSFW if your W is full of prudes.

I'm onboard with lordlundlar. It depends on the severity of the pain.

[HYHYBT]

I tend to go "aagh!" or "grrrr" or something along those lines most of the time. Cussing would involve consciously pulling up words I don't otherwise use.

[Lace Neil Singer]

If I am at work, I use replacement swears; for example, fiddle, sugar, budgerigar, stickleback. If I'm elsewhere, then it's turn the air blue time. XD

Fargin' icehole!

I curse when I'm in enough pain, and have scientific backing for doing so. :P

[RavenStarr]

I do cuss when I get hurt, mad or scared. I try not to it just comes out. I am very careful at work. Though I accidently said "fuck" within earshot of a customer.

As an aside though. Did you know that if you say *Corn Chips* in the same angry tone that you say *Bull Shit* you can actually make it sound like a cuss word

Now I'm wondering about the history of cussing. I mean who decided that certain words are considered cusswords. Who decided that fuck was a cussword but frak wasn't? Why not the other way around?
