      Any vowel is permitted - so fack, feck, fick, fock, fuck and controversially fyck are all valid.

      [Edit] International readers should feel free to say fåck, fæck, féck, fîck, fõck, fœck, fück etc

    I wonder if it’s really the swearing. It would be interesting to compare to nonverbal grunting or groaning around the same intensity. Something similarly emotive and forceful but without the underlying language meaning.

      The root is heightened aggression/anger levels i would guess. Same thing with boxers and power lifters slapping the shit out of themselves before a fight/competition. Anything that gets your blood pumping and adrenaline levels up.

      I would hope the ‘neutral word’ was said at the same volume/rate/tone. Otherwise, yeah, it would definitely be a factor. Just like we can make ourselves angry with our thoughts, there must be a large difference in adrenaline released depending on how you emote.

        It’s been observed that swearwords engage particular parts of the brain aside from the speech centers, and influence emotions pretty much on the hardware level. Which is probably related to how all the ‘motherfuckers’ help Samuel L. Jackson not stutter.

      It could even be related to breathing. In karate exhalation breath work is important as part of a strike or kick for a number of reasons including maximizing force.

      My thoughts exactly.

      Now I have inspiration for what to do.

    The science behind all this is pretty simple honestly.

    When you shout you have to inhale first, and that act of inhaling gives you a burst of muscle power. But when you also combine that with a loud exclamation or a shout or curse, you actually startle yourself on some level. Your brain listens to you, always remember that. So when your brain hears you shout or scream, it drops everything and goes into survival mode. IE: a burst of adrenaline.

    When you combine adrenaline and oxygen you can do almost super-human things like smash cinderblocks with your bare hands and lift cars off trapped people.

    If you want to try charging your muscles for something strenuous like opening a tight jar lid, you can skip the cursing and shouting and just take three deep breaths, and on the last breath draw it in as fast and hard as you can and hold it for a moment as you try to exert the force, it will feel astonishingly easier.

      The payoff will be HUGE, especially as you keep adding 10% grip strength with every swear.

      Assuming an initial grip strength of 100kg[0]:

      • After 10 swears, you’ve more than doubled your initial strength (100 * (1.1^10) kg = 260kg)
      • After 20 swears, you’re gripping a grand piano
      • After 50 swears, you’re gripping a fully grown adult African elephant
      • After 100 swears, you’re gripping the Statue of Liberty
      • After 500 swears, you’re gripping the planet Mercury
