Whether you do it proudly or would never even admit to doing it, everyone curses at some point. And it’s not necessarily a bad thing, depending on the circumstance, as research has shown that profanity can make us feel better, help keep emotions in check and can even help with pain relief. But it seems people in some states let the profanity fly more than others and a new report reveals which ones they are.
