I cant believe Phoenix is last place. Growing up here we dropped fbombs like a Boston stereotype. I am not even joking I had an older woman change seats on the train between Boston and Providence due to my language just a few months ago. There is just NO WAY this is accurate.

How do they determine this? Seems like bullshit to me There is no way some place in the south isn't 1st

I'm so fucking disappointed that Philadelphia isn't #1! I definitely contributed significantly to the cause after the last two World Series games.

I genuinely don't see a theme between high and low cities. It's a mix of working class vs. white collar cities, north and south cities, etc. Surprises me, to be honest, I thought there would be some sort of obvious correlation.

Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Fort Worth... some of the most potty-mouthed cities?? Yeah right.

I had never heard the adjective "dadgum" and the exclamation "dadgummit!" actually used seriously and frequently until I moved to Dallas.
