South Carolina was the most polite state in the country, using words like please and thank you most frequently. Louisiana and Maryland also made the most courteous top 5, making them the only states to be leaders in swearing and courtesy. So next time youre in New Orleans or Baltimore, expect to hear please get out of my fucking way, or something like that.
