- @Pavlov Not just the typical clickbait shitstorm, there's a lot of (very justified) anger at Gawker right now over a specific incident… Unfortunate timing, as this is pretty goddamned hilarious.

I'm surrounded by barely swearing twatwaffles. No fucking wonder these cunts look at me so strangely.
Perhaps they don't like it when I threaten to shove my foot in their gashes and wear them as snowshoes.

HELLOALICE said Fri, Jul 17th 2015 at 11:49pm ET:

I averaged them in photoshop to find out who curses the most/least. Looks like Americans curse the most on the coast and the least in the middle/north, though the Great Lakes area reps some foul language.

Then there's the Wuss average, with just Gosh and Darn.

- @HELLOALICE I'm firmly in one of the darker blue areas myself. I tend to avoid cursing in general for the small things. It makes the cursing have more impact when you actually need it.

- @HELLOALICE Regarding the Great Lakes' position in the hierarchy of invective... Living as we do under the ever generous overlordship of the state of Ill-Annoy, the beneficient rule of the county of Crook and the pervasive influence of the city of shitcago, the frequent utterance of appropriate expletives and colorful epithets tends to become second nature. It would seem the most useful method, in that it at least provides catharsis, of dealing with that which has become so ingrained that it cannot be changed.
  
  At least until we move to a better place, at which point I expect the incentive to vituperation will be somewhat reduced. For a while anyway.

I never used to say "fuck" until I started coming here, but I still can't pull it off convincingly. I still just throw it in as an afterthought.
Practice makes perfect, I guess.

I’m living in the South, and yes, shit seems to be a very familiar word around here. Although, it tends to sounds more like “she-it, y’all.”

jelliott04 said Mon, Mar 12th 2018 at 8:52am ET:

They got the data from Twitter. That seems to slant the data a bit. Are most folks like me in that they swear prolifically IRL but are less likely to let fly when in a public forum? For example, IRL, I’d say “That fucks up the data a bit.” But here, I’m a bit less vulgar. Is everyone like that or is it just me?

- @jelliott04 I’ve live in this area 90+% of my life, and the “hot” words around here according to this are:
  “Asshole, Cunt, and Faggot”
  no fucking way. I hear (in no particular order) shit, fuck, damn, bitch, WAYY more than cunt or faggot.
  
  but they’re right on the money with asshole.
  “what the fuck is this asshole doing?” etc
  
  I blame the local college for skewing the data. it’s got motherfuckers from ALL over the the country.

  In the background (about the same time as the leg split), there is a running figure.
  
  I wonder what their hurry was.
