Ever wondered which country swears the most? Well, you’re in luck because WordTips did the research for us.
WordTips, which is the creator of WordFinder, a tool that helps find possible words made up of letters used in games such as Scrabble or Wordl, analyzed 1.7 million English-language tweets from across X and found what percentage of users used swear words in their posts the most.
The United States topped the list of countries that swore the most by a wide margin, with the United Kingdom coming in second and Australia coming in third.
Here’s a look at which U.S. states swore the most.
Maryland tops the list
Of all the states in the U.S., Maryland swears the most, according to WordTips.
And coming in second is Georgia and then Louisiana.
"The average ‘sweariness’ in Maryland and Louisiana is inflated by their sweariest cities, Baltimore and Baton Rouge (see below). This is less the case in Georgia, where we have previously attributed the state-wide potty-mouth to humidity and horseflies," WordTips said.
The middle of the country swore the least with South Dakota coming in last place.
