What does your regional bashing have to do with the question? I have lived in both the Midwest and South and can't say that people from the Chicago area are less inclined to 'cuss' than those of us in the South.
You know the old joke:
What's the difference between a Yankee and a "dam#ed Yankee?
A dam#ed Yankee doesn't go home!
 Oops - I guess I just proved your point!

Sitting down to breakfast on my last day in Savannah, nice sunny day, the table's by the open patio doors, some well-dressed guy and his daughter stop on the sidewalk just outside the patio doors and he starts in on her, using the c-word and more. Then a kid whizzes by heading to the left and a man starts yelling from (apparently) way down the block to the right "Tyler, get your *** a** back here and quit f***"...and more. What a nice breakfast.
Then I sign on here first thing this morning and one of the first posts I see is this one...made a little bet with myself, opened the thread, and (unfortunately) won my bet. I notice a lot more people smoke down there too, don't know if the two observations are related or not.
Here in Chicago, I don't know if it's just because we don't do a lot of open-door dining along the sidewalks or not, but no, I've never heard anything like that here. Bears games, well, that's another crowd. But not on busy sidewalks downtown. Even the panhandlers say "bless you" and "have a nice day", even if you don't give them anything.
Have a nice day.
