Like mosr people if I hit my thumb with a hammer I will swear to a greater or lesser degree.
Two nights ago a fell off my bicycle and the pain in my side and chest was worse than appendicitus, tooache and possibly childbirth combined. Paasers by weere most helpful and thankfully apart from a sore ribcage no harm was done.
Looking back I was suprised that I did not swear. Anyone have any ideas why not?

You were probably very overwhelmed... you hit your thumb with a hammer... you swear. The pain wasn't intense enough to alter your thoughts. The pain was also centerlized to your thumb, not a large(not to mention very important) part of your body like your side and chest.
When you fell off your bike your body also went through a short time when you knew it was going to hurt before you acutally felt pain because you were in the air. This intesifies pain. When you use a hammer, you don't expect to hit flesh.
Theres also a slight trauma involved because of how long it took you to accure the accident, rather than a short WHAM on your thumb. Your mind was probably on other things simply.

Hitting your thumb,stub your toe etc,is sudden.
Falling off a bike is like your watching it in slow motion so your preparing for the pain you know is coming.

you found a better word to replace with the cursing one, maybe your starting to think before you internally re-act with a swear word you must have told yourself subconsciously at some point that you Rather not swear good on you.

perhaps you did swear but the memory was blocked out . the more important issue of surviving-that would focus all your energy and mind was more important. the brain tends to discharge the trivia at time like this.

embarrassment? maybe because there was people about you were so embarrassed about falling off your bike to think about anything else other than getting up

Because you have probably been well brought up, and have self respect.
