Something all Ohioans can be proud of!

The Sweariest State

According to this article, not only is Ohio the most foul-mouthed, but also the least likely to say please or thank you.

Thanks. Having moved to Ohio later in life, this helps give me a better understanding of why ZN.o is what it is.

Hey, no #$%@ problem!

I'm not surprised by this at all. Since I've moved away, I've noticed how much more pleasant people can be. Not only that, I'm surprised by how respectful children are to adults outside of Ohio.

Swearing can be a sign of a lack of education. Ohio is a pretty well educated state so I don't see that as the problem.

Over the past couple of weeks I'm sure a lot of you have seen one of the main signs of vulgar discourse that for whatever reason, everyone has to look at year around now. Regardless of what fans think about one school or another, it is a vulgarity to walk around with a shirt that says "F Michigan" or the opposite for those from Michigan. Not only is this behavior accepted, it is encouraged. The people who wear those shirts think they are being a super fan. In fact, they are being vulgar boobs and forcing others to look at their vulgar stupidity. There is no place for it regardless of the circumstances and those people should be shunned, not encouraged.

I would say more to the point of this is that Ohio is so well educated that most of us realize that a "naughty word" isn't that big of a deal and would indicate that the state is less puritanical then the other states on that list.

The bigger concern is the pleasantries and gratefulness that is lacking in Ohio. I know I was raised to appreciate everything that another person does for you because; quite frankly, they didn't have to do it, it is a free country after all and a person who lends a helping hand has to make a conscious decision to use their freedoms to help you out.

So I f#$%ing appreciate these info-graphics.

Well, if I may borrow from Hollywood, (and football): Dagnabit! As the colorful attorney Henry Drummond, played by Spencer Tracy in Inherit the Wind stated, "I don't swear just for the hell of it. Language is a poor enough means of communication, I think we should use all the words we've got. Besides, there are damn few words that anybody understands."

I know it was set in Tennessee, but I think Henry could have gotten along just fine in Ohio.

For those who go to a lot of road football games, and were paying attention, you would have witnessed the difference yourself. Just compare the courtesy, hospitality and the overall way people treated you when making road trips to Kentucky and Tennessee vs. OSWho.

Up until the last decade or so, I had spent a lot time in Florida, but never in the "real" South. But, my wife's family all live in the South. When I started spending a lot of time with them, I was absolutely ASTOUNDED at the way children respected adults, and the way they talked to them.

I couldn't believe that teenagers were responding to me using "yes sir". That's a very, very rare occurrence up here.

Marla Ridenour highlights Jimmy Kimmel's take on it where Akron is used as the example city. Pretty funny.
