I’m pretty convinced the creativity of Twitter application developers knows no bounds. Yesterday I stumbled upon a few-months-old app called Cursebird, a real-time feed of people swearing on Twitter (via Christina Gayle). Not entirely sure how this advances humanity as a whole, but it’s pretty fun. I ran some of my favorite Tweeps through Cursebird to see just how colorful their tweets are. In descending order of profanity — enjoy.

hahahahaha I’ve never been so honored in my life.
That’s hilarious.
“Screw you guys, I’m going home.”
@DavidSpinks
I had to look at this as an authenticity test of myself. And I found that my tweets do not mirror my general trashing of the English language with my unwarranted use of expletives as adjectives.
Man, I’m $%#&**@ lame, indeed. :)
That’s fucking ridiculous. ;) Glad the Outspoken gals are holding down the inappropriate language front. We try.
They must be talking about me IRL, not Twitter.
David – nice quote. F’in love it!
Rhea – i can only aspire throw down the f bombs as often as you and Lisa.
somehow, i’ve never actually sworn on twitter. amazing!
Hilarious! Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Amy!
BTW, I am in the “bad golfer” category. Not a bad classification, considering it puts me into the same realm as @DannyBrown! :)
Oh, and for the record, BOTH of my swears occurred when I was citing others’ tweets … including one from none other than our favorite “construction worker,” Mr. @ArikHanson! ha!
I think mine should say, “edits herself like a schoolteacher”
Amy, this is AWESOME. I just did myself and turns out I tweet like a DRUNKEN SAILOR. Hilarious.
