Are You Rude?

Found this article that lists Staten Island as the 17th rudest city.  It is apparently based on how often we curse.  Not sure how much we can argue this one, although if that is the case, where are Brooklyn and New Jersey?

CheapOair | Mar. 2, 2011, 3:28 PM | 72 | Of the top 20, a whopping 18 are in the US. Rising to the number one position is Manchester, UK. Californians definitely vent on Foursquare: seven California cities made the top 20. Believe it or not, there Manhattan did not make the list, although Staten Island, the only New York borrough to be on the list came in at 17--beating Boston by two slots. And the apparently potty-mouthed seniors down in Boca Raton helped to rank it 12th.

1. Manchester, U.K.
