So as that goes, you might be surprised to learn that the people in Columbus, OH are apparently among the most honest people you'll ever meet, they swear on average of 36 times per day. Which is very impressive, that's 11 more vulgarities per day than the highest rated city in the Lone Star State.

Results from this new study found that people in Dallas swear on average of just over once per hour, clocking 25 potty words every day.

Happy cussing, y'all!
