This is fuckin' awesome. It's an analysis of the prevalence of obscenities in various regions, and it's spot the fuck on.
Goddamn right, fuckboy.

THIS GUY is the original source.]

I have a problem with the data points for Motherfucker and Asshole in the Colorado front-range area. Either the sampling is poor or I'm just not doing enough. Back to fighting the good fight, motherfuckers.

On a quick sampling, I'd say it's pretty accurate. I actually heard "gosh" a few times in Nebraska, but don't think I've ever heard "fuckboy" here at home. Is that seriously like an expression?

Sounds more like an occupation.

A sampling from Twitter can't, by definition, be 'spot the fuck on'.

It's
imperative, not adjective. Spotting the fuck is the point here, isn't it?!
Also, two points:
1) California is all orange for all it's fucks. And yet, when I started ranting about
fucking roaming charges, the dillweed in the Verizon store on Van Ness couldn't get rid of me quick enough. Is that like one of the special rules for San Francisco?
2)
Gosh is obscenity?! Strewth!
But it's all silly, anyway. The data points can't be right, indeed.
Look at Oklahoma, at the area around Shawnee. All blue, not a fuck in sight.
I know at least one guy who should make a bright spot there ...

Southwestern Connecticut is red for every word except gosh, which I can't say I have ever heard other than in an elementary school. I live just a little west of the line dividing Red Sox fans from Yankees fans (I am from Philadelphia so I hate both equally), so we get the Boston and the NYC cursing styles here.
