Gosh Darn It! People in Washington Swear the Least – Guess Where They Swear the Most

We're PROUD to announce that the state of Washington is the Politeness CAPITAL of the United States.

A customer research firm called Marchex analyzed how often people in all 50 states cursed in recorded phone calls to businesses over the past year.

People in Ohio were MOST LIKELY to swear. They're followed by Maryland, New Jersey, Louisiana, and Illinois.

People in Washington state were LEAST likely to swear. We finished just below Massachusetts, Arizona, Texas, and Virginia. Nice!

The study also found two out of every three curse words come from men and people are twice as likely to swear in the morning (when the alarm goes off, I guess) as they are in the afternoon or evening. Read more from Marchex
