"For f–k’s sake: Study reveals which English-speaking countries use the f-word the most — and who has more fun doing so"

Let me guess, it's the US that uses it the most.

Yup.

Rep #NancyMace (R-South Carolina) berated airport #police & #TSA officers with #profanity & demeaning insults during a chaotic airport encounter in October, leaving airport employees “visibly upset,” according to an internal investigation by the Charleston Airport Police Department.

Sounds about right…

Police investigation faults #NancyMace for #profanity-laced airport #tirade
 The report found the congresswoman turned a “minor miscommunication” by #police into a “spectacle.”

My interest in (1) tennis and, unrelatedly, (2) the linguistics of profanity means that just now when I saw the phrase "WTA RG F" my brain briefly decided that it meant "what the actual Roland-Garros fuck"

"Don’t give a f#@&" – give an...e.l.f.? A new ad slogan plays on a popular sweary idiom. @Fritinancy takes a look: https://stronglang.wordpress.com/2025/11/21/dont-give-a-f/

"Is it even possible, linguistically, to 'give an e.l.f.'? Or a fuck?" @Fritinancy reports on a new, swear-adjacent marketing campaign:

Screenshot from Reddit page r/PetsWithButtons, user Pamlwell:
My cat has started to use “vacuum” as a curse word.
Basically the title. | gave him a “vacuum” button because the vacuum is stressful for him and I wanted to be able to clearly communicate that the
vacuum was going to happen and let him know “vacuum all done.” He definitely knows what it means because when the vacuum is running he
will push “vacuum” repeatedly and also add “nervous” in there too. But now he has started spamming vacuum after I tell him no, like he is using it as a curse word. For example, he will ask for “snackie” when we JUST got done with
snackie and I will say “snackie all done" and then he will go spam the vacuum button. Yeah, ok bud, I hear you loud and clear that you feel "vacuum" about “snackie all done.” Or he snuck a lick from the end of my spicy curry dish (I did not authorize this, | looked away for ONE second), I could tell he regretted this (spicy), and then he went and pressed “snackie vacuum.” Yeah, ok bud, that snackie made your mouth feel “vacuum”.
I don’t know what I'm asking really, just commiserating. I guess maybe he needs a "mad" button?

Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks' resolution condemning political violence ignited a fiery, profane outburst from GOP Sen. Joe Bellino, who called it biased and recalled a noose incident during his campaign. The tense debate unfolded as elementary students had just left the chamber.
