DAILY DIRT: Who drops the most on-screen f-bombs?

I’ll tell you right now, your first guess is wrong … Welcome to today’s three thoughts that make up Vol. 930 of The Daily Dirt.

1. Which actor has dropped the most F-bombs in cinematic history?

Hint: It’s NOT Samuel L. Jackson.

A website called crossword-solver.io tracks such things, and the winner is (drum roll, please) … Joe Pesci, who has used the F-word 271 times on the silver screen. But in fairness to Pesci, 241 of those F-bombs were dropped in the movie “Casino”.

Here’s a look at the all-time leaders:

• 1. Joe Pesci, 271
• 2. Al Pacino, 197
• 3-tie. Jason Mewes (of Jay and Silent Bob fame), 183
• 3-tie. Jonah Hill, 183
• 5. Leonardo DiCaprio, 144.

Somewhat surprisingly, Jackson only registers in 20th place with 85. (Personally, I’m thinking we need a recount.)

PUBLISHER’S NOTE: Outtakes of Daily Muddy and Club Muddy would far surpass anything Pesci or Jackson have produced. JRG.

The website also tracks s-bombs, and the leader in that department is Denzel Washington with 84, the majority coming in “Training Day”. Here’s the top five for the s-word:

• 1. Denzel Washington, 85
• 2. Seth Rogen, 80
• 2-tie. Jason Mewes, 80
• 4-tie. Samuel L. Jackson, 58
• 4-tie. Ben Affleck, 58

2. Even though we do not have a new No. 1 vanity license plate in this year’s Great Plate Debate, there were certainly some good finds by our readers.

Alas, the medal winners held steadfast:

Gold medal: CO XIST 

Silver medal: S-EVAN

Bronze medal: US-MALE

Here were some of the past week’s best discoveries:

• ONELIFE
• 1 NOONE
• AVATARA
• ZRO RGRT 1
• BUCS 10
• TIZZY 6
• QU SUE 1
• QUEENB 3
• 1 L JESS
• MOMATIO
• CLING 7
• ALL NU 1
• LIKES 17
• STOTSY 1
• PHINS 10
• 1 MOMED
• ROG
• JDY JDY 1
• BCAFN8D
• MOTIV8P

3. Judging by the following, I’d have to say it was one of the better weeks for “Found on Facebook”:

• “My ultimate goal is to be that old person that everyone is afraid to take out in public.”
• “Someone called the Kentucky Derby ‘Amish NASCAR’ and my day hasn’t been the same since.”
• “Welcome to Facebook. Please be patient — someone will disagree with you shortly.”
• “Do regular dogs see police dogs and think, ‘Oh no, it’s a cop!”
• “Today is Husband Appreciation Day — a day to show your wonderful husbands just how much you love them and are grateful for everything they do.” (By the way, this should truly be a national holiday.)
