How To Curse Effectively

You are able to use Cursing to achieve real-life effects – so say scientists! Specifically they are talking about pain-relief. In a news story in the Daily Telegraph today (which given their track-record of up to the minute scientific reportage probably means that the events reported actually occurred sometime in the 19th century) scientists have found that letting out a good hearty profanity helps relieve pain! Now before you all say "No shit, Sherlock!" – it may very well have been the case that people have been swearing like troopers to relieve pain since the invention of the hammer and the nail: however this is the first time that there has been a scientific study of the subject.


However, when I read the article, I realised that it lacked the most vital information, viz which swear-words are most effective. Hence: purely in the spirit of scientific enquiry I have created the following poll, to see if from among the many millions of readers of this blog some kind of consensus can be reached. :)
