Hey, Vsauce. Michael here.

00:02

When you call customer service

00:04

and hear this "to ensure quality service

00:07

your call may be monitored or recorded", they're not kidding.

Over the last year the Marchex Institute analysed more than 600,000

00:15

recorded phone conversations Americans made

00:18

to businesses in the United States.

00:21

Turns out, people from Ohio were the most likely

00:25

to use curse words - the 'A' word, the 'F' word and the 'S' word.

00:29

Washington state residents were the least likely to use bad words.

00:37

But what makes

00:38

a word bad?

00:40

Oh, be careful because etymologically speaking

00:43

even the word 'bad' can be considered a bad word.

00:47

It began in old English as a derogatory term

00:51

By the way, the symbols and squiggles that are used to represent

01:47

a bad word have a name. They're called grawlixes.

01:51

They were named by Mort Walker in his seminal

01:53

"The Lexicon of Comicana." He names a lot of things but most of

01:58

them show stuff, they don't hide stuff.

02:02

Why the need to hide bad words, especially if we all
