I'm inclined to think most kids say they "black out" during a fight as a way of trying to make themselves sound more dangerous. Like a warning to people that they will completely lose control and do irrational things if messed with.
I've been in and around enough fights in my day to know that unless they're wasted (like sloppy drunk or on drugs), people tend to be really, really alert when they're in a fight. It's a natural adrenaline rush.
Without some kind of drug or a preexisting physical/mental defect, I gotta think most normal people do not black out during a fight. Sounds more like a "look how tough I am" front.

Doesnt a black out happen when ur completely wasted? The term "black out" generally applies to any time when you're not aware of what's going on around you, regardless of what caused it. Oh. THAT explains all the dead prostitutes that keep appearing under my bed.

It's funny you bring this up. I knew a few people in highschool who claimed they did this.
"when I fight I black out and go into a violent rage."

blacking out shows psychotic elements to the person, not a very cool or tough thing/

I've never heard this term applied in this context before.

If I black out during a fight it's usually just after I've lost.

I thought "blacking out" was like passing out ?

its actually possible to work your self up so much that your body will shut itself off ('black out') to prevent any damage from happening. you get so excited you pass out. but i doubt that it happens all that often.

True, but we're referring to "blacking out" in the sense that you are still doing stuff, you have no idea what you're doing. Lots of people use it to justify violence. Kinda like how people with disassociative Identity Disorder don't realize what they do when they're in another identity. Think Dustin Rhodes in TNA.

Even that though is possible in the same sense. the body is worked up so much that the mind shuts off and instincts take over. if you get worked up so much your body can start doing crazy things. this is the idea behind the girls in the play "the Cricible". the girls got worked up so much as a group that they were able to faint, sweat, etc. they werent controlling what they were doing. the excitement of the situation had taken them over and they got caught up in it. -abcs
