Were You Allowed To Use Swear Words Growing Up
Were you allowed to use swear words in your home while you were growing up? If I ever used foul language and my Mom or Dad heard it, I’d get a quick slap to the back of the head and a warning that next time they would “wash your mouth out with soap, how would you like that?”
Some families are a little more lax and even though the parents use four-letter words all the time, they just discourage the little ones from copying them. Other families go the other extreme and don’t even want you to mention any body parts which may be covered by clothing! All I know is that the punishment would be even worse if I used foul language in front of strangers my parents’ relatives or friends.
I love comedy. I really admire the talent of great stand-up comics. I think what they do is incredible. On the radio, I do what I do in a closed-door studio. I never see the audience. Stand-up comedians have to make people laugh while they are looking them right in the eye. It’s do or die. It takes guts, and great comedic chops.
So, I thought I would share some great stand-up comedy with you every Monday. Why? Because it’s Monday! Everyone could use a good laugh on Monday. So, here we go with our next installment.
Comedian Steven Soelberg’s family really did NOT like foul language of any kind. He does a great job making light of the situation and his parents’ extreme view on the subject in this Dry Bar Comedy segment. Enjoy!

The average J-ville resident will drop 28 swear words per day! Not sure what’s happening in this Florida city that makes people drop an %$#@ here and there to the tune of 28 times a day, but according to the study they do. You would think with all that sunshine, being a college down…oh, that might be it right there! Or it could be there NFL team right? Whatever the reason, it’s good enough to give them the third highest ranking in this survey!
#2 LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

Are you kidding us, Las Vegas is #2? WOW! We are just as shocked as you are that this city is NOT #1 on this list…however, we forget that this is a city with families and at one time, the most churches per capita than any other city in the nation. Not sure that has any affect on the swearing along the world famous strip, but the average Las Vegan will drop a swear word at least 30 times per day…good enough to be #2 on the list!
#1 COLUMBUS, OHIO

Well, well…who would of thought a college town in the heartland of the United States would have ended up #1 on the list of cities that swear the most? Columbus, Ohio is atop the list with residents dropping at least 36 swear words per day! Known as the “Arch City”, Columbus is also home to Thee Ohio State Buckeyes, the German Village, filled with shops and restaurants built in the 1800’s by German settlers, and much more…well, now Columbus can add “swearing” to the list since they are the city that swears the most in the U.S. making them #1!
