Twitter Swear Monitors

@Swear_Bot Will (Virtually) Call You Out for Cursing

— September 18, 2009 — Pop Culture
Yesterday, I got a Twitter message from @swear_bot that said, "Out of 100,000 sperm, @brassfield was the fastest?" This was quite a confusing message to receive, so I checked out @swear_bot to see what was up.

Swear_Bot is a robot that monitors Twitter for curse words. Kind of like your mom, only instead of washing your mouth out with soap, Swear_Bot calls you out on Twitter--then logs your profane word of choice and compares it to the rest of Twitter's users. So what are the preferred curse words of the Twittersphere? Click through the gallery above to find out.
