Curses! N.J. Ranks Third Among States With Residents Who Curse The Most
Apparently a lot of New Jersey residents didn't get soap in their mouths growing up.
A study from the mobile advertising technology company Marchex finds that the Garden State ranks third in the country where people are most likely to curse. Ohio and Maryland, respectively, finished ahead of New Jersey.
As for which state’s residents are least likely to curse, Washington takes the cake in that category; they curse only once about every 300 conversations. No. 1 Ohio curses once about every 150 convos, according to the report. Massachusetts, Arizona, Texas and Virginia round out the least likely to curse rankings.
Marchex’s data and research team examined more than 600,000 phone calls over the past 12 months. They specifically tracked calls placed by consumers to businesses – arguably when people are perhaps the most frustrated – across 30 different industries. The institute flagged curse words, and then linked the frequency of those words with all 50 states.
The study also took note of the words “please” and “thank you.” South Carolina earned the top honors as the “most courteous” state, followed by North Carolina, Maryland, Louisiana and Georgia.
Going beyond the state-by-state breakdowns, the study found that 66 percent of curses come from men and that callers are twice as likely to curse in the morning as the afternoon or evening. –Nj

GQ names Chris Christie 'Boss of the Year 2013'
They compare him to French President Charles de Gaulle at the end of World War II. They call him a "happy warrior."
But above all, the staff members of GQ bestowed a new honor on Gov. Chris Christie: "Boss of the Year 2013."
The magazine included the Republican governor in its latest Men of the Year edition, saying "he might be the only politician in America who had a good 2013."
"In New Jersey, he was stalwart in the wake of (Hurricane) Sandy — first providing storm victims a shoulder to cry on, then browbeating D.C. politicians into delivering the aid money those victims desperately needed," GQ writes in a featurette on Christie. "Nationally, he was a lone voice of reason in an increasingly insane GOP, picking fights with everyone from John Boehner (over that Sandy relief) to Rand Paul (national security). Along the way, he turned himself into that most unlikely of pols: a happy warrior."
The magazine recaps an appearance Christie made in Ocean City seven months after Hurricane Sandy. As is common with his stops, the governor was mobbed by supporters and posed for hundreds of pictures.
Christie's media profile has risen exponentially in the month since he was re-elected in a landslide, heightening speculation that he is a favorite for the Republican nomination for president in 2016. He has been featured on the cover of Time magazine, appeared on a string of talk shows, made a guest spot on the sitcom "The Michael J. Fox Show" and been spoofed on "The Simpsons."
Among GQ's other men of the year: comic Andy Samberg, baseball star Yasiel Puig, musician Justin Timberlake — and three New Jersey-born actors: Michael Douglas of New Brunswick, Kevin Spacey of South Orange, and the late James Gandolfini of Park Ridge. –Nj
