Nearly three-quarters of Americans questioned last week (74%) said they encounter profanity in public frequently or occasionally, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll. Two-thirds said they think people swear more than they did 20 years ago. And as for, well, the gold standard of foul words, a healthy 64% said they use the F-word — ranging from several times a day (8%) to a few times a year (15%).UPDATE:
It occurs to me that the percentage of "F-word" users inversely correlates with the approval percentage of the president. This is potentially a strongly positive sign that the people are ready and willing to take back their country. Remember George Carlin's line that fuck is a strong and hearty word: "I am Fuck! Fuck of the Mountain!!"
However, there is also a strong possibility that people simply wake up in the morning and say, "we're totally fucked."
