Glaswegian­s are UK’s most potty-mouthed

City tops the league of worst cursing

- BY STIAN ALEXANDER reporters@dailyrecor­d.co.uk

GLASGOW is the worst city in Britain for swearing, it’s been revealed.

And “f***” is the most common swear word.

Glaswegian­s use 109 profanitie­s in every 1000 words, almost double their nearest cursing comrades – Liverpudli­ans – on 65. Edinburgh was next at No3 in the league.

The least likely city to hear swearing in was Sheffield with only 35 bad words every 1000.

Many well known Glaswegian­s are famous for turning the air blue.

Peter Capaldi, 63, played the foul-mouthed spin doctor Malcom Tucker in The Thick of It from 2005-12 and shouts in one scene, “Come the f*** in, or f*** the f*** off’. And Sir Alex Ferguson, Billy

Connolly and Frankie Boyle are famous for often using choice words.

“S**t” was the second most popular swear word behind “f***”.
