Don't tell your children, but a new study finds swearing like a sailor may alleviate pain. Four-letter words may help alleviate pain, suggests a study in the August 5 NeuroReport. Swear words "are really the link between the languge system andthe emotional system," according to psychologist Timothy Jay. The inspiration for this study came to a psychologist as he listened to his wife let loose with some unsavory language during the throes of labor.
