How is F*CK even pronounced?
Will it still work if I yell Fuck instead?
Fasteriskck
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
Fあck

Maybe it's just RegEx. 0 or more "F"s allowed. e.g. CK, FCK, FFCK, ...
"Firetruck"
+1 shitty superpower ideas
I should really start writing them down at this point.
One Punch Man but it's all C-class

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 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.
Made me think of tennis players. The sounds may really increase their power.

"FUUUCK!"
$java -jar app.jar
My thoughts exactly.
My other thoughts were, every time I see corporate BS in my company am I better off ignoring or swearing.
Now I have inspiration for what to do.
This is like a special moveset of self-buffs for a brawny no-magic character in a JRPG
Imagine the jar you can't open is the swear jar and you yell out FUCK and put a dollar through the slot and try to open it and then yell FUUUUUUCK and then put in another dollar...
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
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.

I remember a Mythbusters episode where they proved that cursing also helps alleviate pain.
Curse 24/7 and you're basically a superhero
Profanity Man to the rescue!
Sport climber here. "Power Screaming" is a well- known technique to boost power during individual hard moves. Adam Ondra is famous for his strategic screaming, see his ascent of Silence. I regularly use it myself to increase core and grip strength.
Taught martial arts for many years, yes shouting does boost energy in specific circumstances. There's a whole art to it, and really it amounts to raising adrenaline levels in yourself (shouting startles yourself) and oxygen. The inhaling before the shout charges your muscles.
In fact, you can get a fantastic demonstration of this without the shouting or cursing. Next time you have a jar lid or anything that you need to manually move that's just slightly more difficult than your muscle power can comfortably move, take three very deep breaths, then on the last breath inhale as hard as you can and hold it for a moment as you try to open the jar or turn the thing, you will have a very noticeable burst of muscle power.
Lmao I didn't get through the first sentence without picturing Ondra.

Swears are MMORPG buffing spells. Let them all rip simultaneously for burst and maximize jar DPS.
Fuck, shit, cock, ass, titties, boner, bitch, muff, pussy, cunt, butthole, Barbra Streisand!
So swearing is the natural human booster and it is scientifically demonstrated?
So it boosts STR, does it also boost INT? Maybe it debuffs WIS?
It boosts DEX and STR for your next fight action and/or gives a +1 to your next saving throw, but only if you’re at least two levels in Barbarian.
And to think, this whole time I was using the rubber band trick like a sucker.

I find that Yosemite Sam-style incoherent muttering of curses throughout the pickle-jar opening helps a lot.
FASTERISCK!
Fuck yea! ^+ 8 grip strength^
I have a goddammned motherfucking super power, bitch! ^degreelessnes mode on^
Also exhale just as you do it. 👍 Learned that the other day from that maths professor whose name escapes me just now. Redhead, adorable, red nails always. YouTube, Instagram, she's on all of it.
