Which State Has the Filthiest Mouths on Twitter?

the" Seven Dicty Word," And the FILTHY F#CK? NG In 1972, comedian George Carlin did a stand up gig in which he described the "7 Dirty Words" that could not be said on American television: sh*t, p*ss, f*ck,c*nt, c*cks*cker, m*ther- f*cker and t*ts.The country has changed considerably since Carlin's years, but while conventional television is still rather squeaky clean, social media doesn't play by the same rules regarding public obscenity... not by a long shot. But how dirty is the internet's mouth, really? Data taken from Jul 31, 2011 00:00 (UTC) to Jul 30, 2013 22:27 (UTC) INTERNET WHICH U.S. STATE HAS THE FOULEST MOUTH ON TWITTER?
