Prince Albert, Saskatoon make Top 10 list for ‘Most potty-mouthed Canadian cities’
Almost three in five Canadians, or about 58 per cent, admit to relying on swear words frequently when chatting with friends, but that number appears to run just a little higher in Saskatchewan.
A new study analyzed comments and posts from subreddits (from the social media platform Reddit) across Canadian cities and provinces to reveal where residents are the most colourful with their language. Turns out Saskatoon residents are the most-foul mouthed across Canada, scoring 8.04/10 for rudeness, while Prince Albertans swore their way into a fifth place rudeness score, tied with Truro, Nova Scotia at 6.94/10.
“Saskatoonians are not afraid to let loose with around 7.44 per cent of comments packed with profanity, averaging 2.25 cuss words per post,” the report read. “Meanwhile, Prince Albert residents are quick to add a curse or two into the conversation, averaging around 1.9 cuss words per post.”
Edmonton, Red Deer and Toronto round out the other top five in the list.
