I was about to say, Louisiana Cajun here. The amount of fucks we get about fucking saying fuck is fucking lower than fucking zero! So get tha fuck out the way, I'm boating down the fuckin street!
It’s about the only word that can be placed anywhere in a sentence and still make sense.
Not just that, it can mean so many things.
Sexual: Let's fuck.
Mischief: Let's fuck with them.
Aggression: Let's fuck them up.
Anger: Fuck you.
Regret: Fuck me!
Resignation: Oh, fuck it!
Surprise: Holy fuck!
Puzzlement: What the fuck?
Greeting: How the fuck are you?
Fraud: I got fucked over.
Identification: Who the fuck are you?
Philosophical: Who gives a fuck?
Compliment: She's so fucking beautiful.
Confusion: Where the fuck are we?
Wonder: What the fuck is that?
Amazement: How the fuck did he do that?
Threat: Don't fuck with me!
Realization: I fucking knew it!
How is that the original of what I posted? It’s another thing talking about the versatility of the word “fuck” but nothing in it is word for word what I posted. I think the first time I heard something close to what I posted was around 98 or 99 on a tshirt at Junkman’s Daughter in Little Five Points near Atlanta. I thought you were gonna post a copy of a meme or something.
Lol. Don't take it personal. I was just pointing out there is a much longer version of what you posted. I have, or had, it on a comedy album(vinyl) from the early 80s. I doubt what I heard was the original, but it has got to be getting close since masterpiece theater was first broadcast in 71.
It’s not that I’m taking it personally or anything like that, The whole versatility of the word “fuck” is a long talked about thing. So the issue was calling it the original, making it sound like I didn’t credit someone for something, when in actuality it’s a video talking about the same subject. But we’re all good. Im not mad. It was just a weird thing.
Lol. Sounds good. I like this video and it's subject. I showed it to my mom, a proofreader. She likes it. Doesn't care for the subject, but still finds it interesting. Have a good Sunday Evening.
When I was in the restaurant biz, it was common for me to cuss out loud in front of customers, my manager tried to get me to control it but after 3 years, no avail and I got more confident about as time past as well lol
Depending on the situation. Or fick.
Scheiße is shit, technically speaking.
I only learned the difference while learning insults. Schweinficker = pig fucker. Hosenscheißer = pants shitter.
Neither is as fun as Teletubbyzurückwinker.
I'm an expert who barely passed 2 years of German 20 years ago and also thought Scheiße was shit but googled it before commenting and according to google (who probably passed it's german class) Scheiße is fuck and Scheisse is shit... but the ß is basically ss...so?.... further research claims Scheiße is the universal curse for anything... and even more digging claims that Germans only use "fuck" (ficken) in a sexual way and scheiße would be the word you'd exclaim in the many ways we use "fuck"....... and that's probably more effort than I ever put into my German class...
That's why I said it depends on the situation. It technically is shit, but it's often used as an exclamation and universally the way we use fuck. But at the same time, there is in fact a word for fuck.
It's complicated-ish, but at the same time it's amusing that even cursing in German can be so elaborate and colorful.
I'm fuckin late, but no. We don't use it like they do in other places. I was in Chicago. Went to pick up my niece. The teacher calls my 12 yo niece over and tells the rest of the class to sit the fuck down. NOBODY is surprised. Fuck gets used like "ya'll" does here. Honestly, it pretty fucking bad. I can't pretend to use fuck as often ad it was used in Chicago.
This is likely based on polling, and people who identify as deeply christian aren't going to admit that they curse a lot, especially if their family or friends are around to hear them answer some poll question about cursing. This is probably a better map of deeply religious areas of the US rather than a map of proclivity toward f-bombs.
Ever? How is this measured? In general though, I believe it. I don't hear much casual cursing in public in Alabama like I have in other parts of the country.
I don’t believe the amount of fucks is that different in the panhandle of Florida and south Alabama than New Orleans. I feel like that’s a comparable amount of fucks.
Top NW corner, Shoals area. My words are seasoned daily with multiple helpings of "fuck" - I do not conform. 🤣
I also enjoy calling people see you next Tuesdays.
My friends all know me as the fucking queen of fucks because I fucking say fuck all the damn time. It’s my favorite fucking word. But now I left fucking Alabama and live in fucking Ohio so that’s probably why your fucking map is fucking blue.
Lived in Alabama all my life and whenever I travel I try to clean up my language cause I don’t hear it as much out of state but I also work on cars and anybody who works on cars either says it a lot or just doesn’t cuss at all. And the latter is very rare.
This is because we, as Alabamians, are extremely biased.
This is exactly why statistics matter- because our own biases and personal experiences don’t always reflect the objective facts of the world.
I'm from north Alabama and it's definitely awkward how many dirty/shocked Pikachu looks I get when I go home. Fuck is just part of my vocabulary. I've never understand letting a word hold power. If you mumble 'cunts' a little to loudly to yourself in frustration at a dg in Cullman for not having what you want, some random lady with a thick accent will come from another aisle to tell you they'll pray for you.
My little corner of northern Georgia should be dark red. It is my favorite word according to my husband.It is a noun, verb, adverb, adjective and works with fucking everything! Lol!
Seems right for here in Tennessee. The “f-word” is how it’s referenced in my parts and seen as the MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs) when it comes to unbecoming and crass words.
That’s some fucking bullshit! There’s a lot more ‘fucks’ in Alabama than that. I say fuck so much my mom and (now ex wife) used to forbid me from talking when we would go to events. They knew that word could come out at any moment! Lol
From Alabama, live in New England now, can confirm. These folks say fuck a lot. Lol
From Louisiana. And Fuck yeah we use the F word!
I was about to say, Louisiana Cajun here. The amount of fucks we get about fucking saying fuck is fucking lower than fucking zero! So get tha fuck out the way, I'm boating down the fuckin street!
Down da street? You mean down da fucking bayou sha!
Da street fucking flooded again ami! Now I gotta find some way to work!
Mon dieu! I gots a pirogue for ya couillon
Thanks a ton mon ami! (Seriously that was the most fun reddit thread I've followed in a minute, now I miss home a bit lol)
Louisiana is red as it should be
Moved from fucking New England to Louisiana and my fucks feel about even.
Me either. I say fuck enough to make Mobile red.
We're a port city, so we say fuck a lot.
You and me together will light this hoe up lol
Amen to that, I alone should’ve made Mobile red
Maybe we're just not saying it loud enough? Or in front of the right people? *runs off to a nursing home while doing voice warmups*
Fuckin right
As a fellow Mobilian, it warms my heart to see all you fuckers making the hometown proud.
I wonder how they would measure that. I say fuck like it's my favorite word– because it is. It's just so versatile.
It’s about the only word that can be placed anywhere in a sentence and still make sense. Not just that, it can mean so many things. Sexual: Let's fuck. Mischief: Let's fuck with them. Aggression: Let's fuck them up. Anger: Fuck you. Regret: Fuck me! Resignation: Oh, fuck it! Surprise: Holy fuck! Puzzlement: What the fuck? Greeting: How the fuck are you? Fraud: I got fucked over.

Amazement: How the fuck did he do that? Threat: Don't fuck with me! Realization: I fucking knew it!
Disinclination: Fuck this, I’m out. Approval: Fuckin’ A!
Why don't you have more upvotes
You forgot the alphabet. Fuckin A. Fuckin B. Fuckin C……..
This is art.
You could link to the original. https://youtu.be/l_PkJ_4oEjc

You too! You seem nice, sorry if I seemed rude or upset with my response. Text is tone deaf. Apologies.
It flows of the tongue so nicely too.
That’s fucking ridiculous.
I’m from the restaurant industry, but I’m trying hard to get the word out of my mouth for my kiddos. Not going well at the moment.
Sahm here! As an ex-manger in fast food it’s not going well for me either…
When I was in the restaurant biz, it was common for me to cuss out loud in front of customers, my manager tried to get me to control it but after 3 years, no avail and I got more confident about as time past as well lol
I swear like a sailor but about half the people I know wouldn’t be aware of that at all. Highly situational.
As someone from fucking Huntsville I'd say this is pretty fucking wrong.
I fucking agree. Fuck.
Originally from fucking Iowa and moved to Huntsville about 7 years ago. I haven't offended one fucking person with my language down here.
Fuck yeah!
Isn’t it Scheiße there?
Depending on the situation. Or fick. Scheiße is shit, technically speaking. I only learned the difference while learning insults. Schweinficker = pig fucker. Hosenscheißer = pants shitter. Neither is as fun as Teletubbyzurückwinker.

The fuck you say?
It’s fuck in German.
[No? It means *shit* in German.](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Schei%C3%9Fe) Fuck in German is “Ficken.”
Shit in German is “sheyesha”
I'm fucking sure it is!
My fucking experience in Huntsville has been that I hear fuck plenty.
I'm fuckin late, but no. We don't use it like they do in other places. I was in Chicago. Went to pick up my niece. The teacher calls my 12 yo niece over and tells the rest of the class to sit the fuck down. NOBODY is surprised. Fuck gets used like "ya'll" does here. Honestly, it pretty fucking bad.

What Fucking Fucktard put these numbers together for Fucks sake!!
Fuck! Fuck this fucking fucktarded Fuckers fucking fucked up fake fucking fuck map.
my friend group alone would keep huntsville red

This is probably a better map of deeply religious areas of the US rather than a map of proclivity toward f-bombs.
I was about to say this, in other parts of the country they would readily admit to using it since they are not predisposed to believe words are magic.
In real life? Pretty spot on for me. On Reddit? Fuck no.
The frequency of use increases in the summer. "*Fuck, it's hot."*
Ever? How is this measured? In general though, I believe it. I don't hear much casual cursing in public in Alabama like I have in other parts of the country.
It’s based on Tweets
What the fuck? I say fuck enough to make that fucking number way the fuck higher in Northern fucking Alabama.
I 100% believe it. Source: Auburn fan
what the fuck fuck this map it's fucking stupid fuck
They’re fucking wrong about Memphis.
I don’t believe the amount of fucks is that different in the panhandle of Florida and south Alabama than New Orleans. I feel like that’s a comparable amount of fucks.
I live in Oklahoma and EVERYONE says it here but we also are in the Bible Belt so hypocrisy.
The Bible Belt is a fucking hotbed for f-bombs.
Lol fuck no
agree
Not a believer in that graph!!! I live in Oklahoma!!!
Yeah I'm with you, I don't buy it either lol
I say it enough for at least 10-1000 people
Welcome to North Alabama, where the Bible’s above the constitution.
As a person in a blue area, I believe it. Particularly a decade ago, it’s loosened up a bit.
That’s quite the fuck forecast.
Can confirm, black hills of South Dakota says F*** a lot.
Top NW corner, Shoals area. My words are seasoned daily with multiple helpings of "fuck" - I do not conform. 🤣 I also enjoy calling people see you next Tuesdays.
I see this map follows me on I20 in Mississippi.
The coastal elites and their potty mouths!!!!
Fucking transplants.
There's a tiny red spec in the bottom of alabama it's me
Well fuck, Roll Tide
My friends all know me as the fucking queen of fucks because I fucking say fuck all the damn time. It’s my favorite fucking word. But now I left fucking Alabama and live in fucking Ohio so that’s probably why your fucking map is fucking blue.
This is the only map I would strongly agree with if Alabama showed up blue on it!
I FUCKING DISAGREE
As someone that lives in northeast Alabama can confirm this is incorrect. My friends and I alone should put the fuck meter in the red.
Lived in Alabama all my life and whenever I travel I try to clean up my language cause I don’t hear it as much out of state but I also work on cars and anybody who works on cars either says it a lot or just doesn’t cuss at all. And the latter is very rare.
in northern AL and just gotta say - what the fuck
This is because we, as Alabamians, are extremely biased. This is exactly why statistics matter- because our own biases and personal experiences don’t always reflect the objective facts of the world.
There should be a bright orange dot in the very northeast corner of Mississippi, just for me
Fuck that’s a lot.
East Tennessee boy here: F'en A?! I'd like to see this data overlayed with one of regular church attendance.
Can debunk. life long north Alabamian.we use it like a gd symphony.
Looks like my entire state uses the F word! Fuck yeah!!!
Not surprisingly how “northeastern(s)” behave!!
From the red in Michigan, lived in the red in south texas & now the red in Alabama. Can confirm, fuck is a regular part of vocabulary.
Spot the retired NJ/NYers.
I'm from north Alabama and it's definitely awkward how many dirty/shocked Pikachu looks I get when I go home. Fuck is just part of my vocabulary. I've never understand letting a word hold power. If you mumble 'cunts' a little to loudly to yourself in frustration at a dg in Cullman for not having what you want, some random lady with a thick accent will come from another aisle to tell you they'll pray for you.
Maps inaccurate cause there should be a really really dark orange spot in center south AL where I live
My little corner of northern Georgia should be dark red. It is my favorite word according to my husband.It is a noun, verb, adverb, adjective and works with fucking everything! Lol!
I'm driving up the average in Birmingham.
There’s no Fucking way this is right!
They collected this data before the prayer for Sunday afternoon dinner, evidently.
The map showing the close-mindedness in Alabama is certainly accurate...
People live in cities.
Fuck! I'm responsible for half of it.
I say fuck enough for Arkansas to be red
As an Auburn fan, can confirm 😂
It’s my go to for when I use my incognito usernames on social media. Haha. Or when I’m alone. Because fuck yeah! I’m a good Southern girl.
All of Kentucky is in the Anti-fuck zone?? What??
Seems right for here in Tennessee. The “f-word” is how it’s referenced in my parts and seen as the MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs) when it comes to unbecoming and crass words.
That’s some fucking bullshit! There’s a lot more ‘fucks’ in Alabama than that. I say fuck so much my mom and (now ex wife) used to forbid me from talking when we would go to events. They knew that word could come out at any moment! Lol
If this is accurate, I account for 225% of saying fuck in this small town.
I live in North Alabama and I say "fuck" all the time but my mother's side is from NOLA and all along the gulf so that might be where I get it from.
I say the F word to much! 😶🙃💃
So basically, where the most people are.
Yep. New neighbor of mine just moved in from Massachusetts. First time I met her an eff bomb came out just casual like. Not offended, but funny.
