Never saw that coming.

I’m really interested in the “other” category, thou mammering flap-mouthed codpiece.

I’m still hoping “eat Ajit Pai” will catch on.

This only searches for a static list of words. From the python script:
fuckCount=0
shitCount=0
dickCount=0
cuntCount=0
prickCount=0
cockCount=0
bullshitCount=0
motherfuckerCount=0
fagCount=0
niggaCount=0
That list doesn’t appear to be sourced from anything authoritative. Not searching for contemporary additions like “cuck” makes this not particularly useful or enlightening. The script will also double-count “bullshit” and “motherfucker” for “shit” and “fuck” respectively.
I’m going to get flagged for this, aren’t I.

If the word cuck was included, it would surely be in the list of most common uses.
