A current survey shows how often and where Germans swear - and who their anger is directed at. Nuremberg ends up in the top 10 in the curse frequency ranking.
Dresden is where people swear the most: with almost 18 swear words per day, that's twice as often as the national average. The people of Bochum, on the other hand, use their foul language sparingly: with an average of seven curses per day,. They are at the bottom of the rankings, together with Munich. Almost 27 percent of those surveyed said they mainly cursed themselves, and 25 percent said that their curses were usually not directed at any specific person.
