The average American swears 21 times a day. My mom would be appalled. I also know that when my mom thinks I'm not around she swears like a sailor.

A poll by Preply looked at 30 major cities in the US and their citizens' relationships with cussing. Through their survey they determined the TOP 10 Cities That Swear the Most and the TOP 10 Cities That Swear the Least in the country. Here are the results. Also - if I were a part of that survey, well, let's just say the results would have been a little different.
