Looks like America's heartland is also home of the potty mouth.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm reading the thing backwards. Looks like the southern US coast is home of the potty mouth. Sorry, heartland.

EDIT 2: That scale is kind of counter-intuitive isn't it? When you look at doppler, the heavier rates of precipitation are always darker in shade, not lighter.

Oh boy, I'll have to tone it down after I move. My day to day lexicon of profanity is more then verbose.

Freedom of speach is now considered potty mouth?

How often have I let you get along? You are a baby with a masters degree. If I'm so stupid, you can certainly counter my posts.

They've got swear words all there own.

New Jersey better be the epicenter of all of this or the servey is BS

Okay, I turned the other cheek twice, @mbassador. It's back on now, and this time you have no grounds to cry that I'm picking on you. You asked for this.

'Potty mouth' has been a well-established term for swearing since well before 1930/29. Freedom of expression has nothing to do with it. Must you politicize everything. Can you not turn it off? Can you not help yourself?

I do truly believe that his behavior is a rather sick form of flattery, yes.

When conversing with you Tke I'd be more than happy to stop political dialog. But I will not stop being political with others on this board.

So the answer is no. Seriously, just say no next time. Save us the trouble.

A quote germane to the topic: "I arrived at the conclusion that the GI would be virtually speechless if a certain four-letter word beginning with F were lifted from his vocabulary. I kept a tally: thirty-four times... in two minutes!" (Gantter, Roll Me Over: An Infantryman's World War Two, 1997)

Cool! I'm on this map. Y'all see that bright bit in North Texas? That's me.
