Now a website has been created that shows, in real time, exactly who and where drops the 'f bomb' on the social network giant.
And it should come at no great surprise that, in the United States, New Yorkers and other east coast residents appear to be the worst offenders.
FBomb.co is an interactive map that drops a pin with a warning sign at any place in the world where a potty-mouthed Tweet is posted.
Users can click on the pins, which show the vulgar Tweet and the handle that wrote it.
It's the brainchild of Martin Gingras, a junior at Carleton University in Ottawa and aspiring software designer.

Gingras said he developed the site by pulling from the public Twitter API and using geocoded date to plot a bomb signpost.
'The concept behind the application is to plot tweets containing the F word on a Google map,' he wrote on the site.
Understandably, the most foul-mouthed countries are those with English-speaking populations.
The U.S. and Britain are registering the most unrefined Twitter uses.
Canada and Australia, for whatever reason, appear to swear a lot less.
An accompany Twitter feed 'sporadically retweets the messages that make up the map.
The timing of the tweets is what is interesting most people who log onto FBomb.co.
Humorously, the concentration hits at peak in the late afternoon.
To put this in perspective, a 2010 Northeastern University study found that weekdays between the hours of noon and 6pm were the most miserable for the U.S.
