A well-timed f-bomb is like cracking your knuckes. Just instant aaahhh. As is fully appreciating a new concept. I study math, sometimes badly and sometimes well. It's attitude-dependent. You should probably wait if you want to wage war on those fields. I'm not even sure what Math War looks like.

It seems to me manipulation of language has a very real extension into reality. Dickens and Shakespeare are both responsible for many modern words and phrases to which they're the direct mothers, and that changes things. I have a vague notion, but not unfounded, I think, that words are like chemicals and life itself. You can't know upon inspiration how the melding of two concepts into something new will change things down the line... but it is real.
