Finnish? I only understood one of those curses...Cajt said:Curse like a drunken sailor if I get hurt. Like once in class when I burned myself I yelled:
"VOI VITTU SATANA HELEVETTI PERKELE SATANA HELEVETTI VITTUN HELEVETTI SAAAAAAATANA!"
Unfortunately, my teacher heard everything and wasn't very happy.
I do the EXACT same thing. Leads to people thinking I have like no threshold for pain which is actually quite the opposite.Ramthundar said:Also, I'll say "Ouch" when I bump into stuff or I think I should of gotten hurt. This happens many times at my lunch table, where I often bump my knee against the metal rods. At most it'll hurt a little, but I automatically say "Ouch."
Then when I really do hurt myself (say, bumped my toe or flipped a four-wheeler on me) I'll either won't make any noise or I'll laugh.
A couple of times I've done this when I've dropped something, and it didn't even touch me.Ramthundar said:Also, I'll say "Ouch" when I bump into stuff or I think I should of gotten hurt.

Odd. I say the German version every time I cough or someone else does. Then they'll always turn to me and say "Your not supposed to say that!"GoldenRaz said:I say the swedish equivalent to "Bless you" whenever I cough, which has started to annoy one of my friends quite a lot.

Shows how well my attempt to learn Finnish is going...
OT: Well, it seems I agree with most other people. When something gentle happens that I'm not expecting and there are other people around, I'll say "Ow." with a very monotonous voice. However when I do actually get hurt, I generally sit there in silence. Or yell profanities. The latter is not good to do in public.
I say it mostly due to the lack of a more appropriate word or phrase. I did it more as a joke at first, but it just got stuck and now I just can't stop.Ramthundar said:Odd.

"Hey, I think I should know when to use that word, danke shone." says I, the German.
Finnish indeed. I'm going to learn Finnish as soon as I'm done with learning German.Empireth said:Finnish? I only understood one of those curses...Cajt said:Curse like a drunken sailor if I get hurt. Like once in class when I burned myself I yelled:

I'm not sure what is normal anymore. It seems like most of the posters on this thread laugh when severely hurt. Perhaps it's the body's way of releasing endorphins to help deal with the pain?Hooded-hyena said:This ***** ripped out a handfull of hair from my head, and kneed me. I COULD not stop laughing, I even cried I laughed so hard. I usually go into a blind fury when I'm angry, I only see a film of grey when I attack somebody. Is that normal?
I never say ouch to when I'm in pretty bad pain. I once had a compact fracture on my arm, and all I did was look at it and ask for help to a bystander. Or when I fell up the stairs and cracked my forehead pretty bad, I asked for help to the nurse and laughed the entire way like a maniac.
Wanna send me the translation to that? Plus, if possible, pronunciations?Cajt said:Finnish indeed. I'm going to learn Finnish as soon as I'm done with learning German.Empireth said:Snippetty.Cajt said:Curse like a drunken sailor if I get hurt. Like once in class when I burned myself I yelled:

I already know some Finnish though.
D'aww, it's okay! Guess it was just your natural reaction.Empireth said:Sorry Ramthundar
