Mapped: Canadian cities that swear the most on Twitter

In which city does the F-word appear most frequently? (Toronto is rather profane)

To find out where Canadians cursed the most, we also asked Full Duplex for assistance. The company analyzed a year of tweets to find in which cities the F-word appeared most frequently. Given its massive population, Toronto, of course, came out on top, with 5,400+ f-bombs tweeted over a year’s time. (That figure only includes the relatively small segment of tweets geolocated to Toronto—it’s likely the real total is higher.)  But even after factoring in different population sizes, T.O. Twitter users still swore the most. Using Toronto as the base, here’s how the frequency of F-words breaks down across some of Canada’s biggest cities.
