I was just wondering. I feel I hate to stereotype, but I find that people from the North and Upper Midwest use the harshest language in public settings

We have a lot of Northern tourists here in Richmond- and at a party or something you can always tell whos not from Richmond simply by their uninhibited use of language

And Im not saying that we NEVER use those words, we just dont shout them out as loud and not in public usually. Because it seems that shouting is more common in the Northeast and Midwest but also the use of the explicatives.

What do Y'all think?

The northeast definitely uses harsh language

I guess it is the city, immigrant vs establishment mentality

Haha, Bostonians are hilarious... They called me a "pissah" once because of my Yankee hat. I called him a "Bawston jerkawf" to be a funny guy back at him. I love Boston, don't get me wrong, I was just being a smart***.

I agree the attitude is funny. And the accent makes it even better.
