Episode 112 - ADHD & Swearing: Why Our Brains Love to Say "F***"

Hey friends! Welcome back to ADHDville, the podcast where we chat about life, laughs, and the wonderfully wiggly world of ADHD brains.THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL, SPOT-ON WARNING: This episode is a properly sweary one. We’re talking oodles of f-bombs, bastards, bollocks, and creative cursing galore. If you'd rather not hear that, this might not be the episode for you. But if you’ve ever wondered why swearing just hits different with ADHD… you’re in the right (and rowdy) place.Join hosts Paolo and Martin as we pull up a chair in our local pub, The King's Agitated Head, to unpack:🔸 The SCIENCE: Why does shouting "F**K!" actually help with pain and stress? (Spoiler: It's a legit dopamine hack for ADHD brains).🔸 The STATS: Which country swears the most? (Hint: It's not Italy!). And what's the sweariest day of the week? The answers will surprise you!🔸 The ADHD LINK: How is explosive, impulsive swearing tied directly to our brain wiring? We get real about meltdowns and emotional release.🔸 The CULTURE: From elegant Jane Austen insults to the lost Anglo-Saxon swear words you need in your life ("You absolute nithing!").🔸 Personal Stories: Including the time Paolo’s childhood swearing got him in big trouble with a neighbour… who turned out to be an actual bastard.Whether you’re here for the laughs, the relatable ADHD moments, or just to hear two mates have a brilliantly profane chat, we’re glad you’re here. Grab a beverage, put the headphones in, and let’s get into it.Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE for your weekly dose of ADHDville!-------------------------------------Welcome to ADHDville, the podcast where hosts Paul and Martin bring 40 years of friendship to your ears.
