Does anybody else have what I call "Stretching Tourettes"?

When I stretch I find that it feels much better if I curse vulgarly while doing so, and involves little aforethought. It just comes out. So after watching a movie on the couch I might stand and stretch shouting out "fuck a duck with a cum swizzler" (often things don't make much sense).

If I stretch without it it just isn't as satisfying.

It also carries with it the joy of uttering a sentence that may never before have been uttered in human history (yes, that bit of Garden State was stolen from me).

I read an article just today on research showing that swearing enables people to better endure pain. Ya know, yelling FUCK when you hit your hand with a hammer lets you tolerate it better than someone who says OUCH.

Maybe this is something similar.

Maybe, but interestingly swearing isn't really something I do in response to unexpected pain.
