I posted an answer several days ago but it seems to have disappeared into cyberspace. Chances are your short is in a neutral since you can still stand after the shock. A short in the live wire would kick the breaker and/or knock you to your knees. I am going to guess that you do not have a properly grounded outlet with a third bare wire. Proper grounding would prevent you from getting a shock but, as nmwirez says, you still have a problem. I would start by removing the switch plates and inspecting each wire for a cut or rub point into the insulation. To be safe you should initially kill the power but you may need to turn it on later to do some testing.
