swearing

Talking about swearing when we were younger, about 7, my friend asked me if I ever swore. I replied, "not really, but I sometimes call my dad a bloody bugger". We're 14 now, and it was only a few months ago that she realised that it is actually "bloody bugger".... not "bloody BURGER".. lol.

I was almost afraid to say "cinimon bun" or "cinimon toast", because, to me, it almost sounds like you're saying S.O.B.

I once thought that the word "reason" was a bad word.

I used to believe that your "rude finger" meant I hate you. So when we were angry at the teacher, we would all put up our rude finger when she wasn't looking.

Til I was about 8 I had no idea what swearing was, someone told me that this boy in a movie swears a lot. I told my friend that this boy had sex (I had a vague idea of what that was).

I used to believe "retro" was a vulgar word. It's odd now especially since I'm a retro gamer.

Because of the way swear words were censored on TV when i was little, i thought the' F word" was actually 'fuff'. I think i thought that until i was 9 or 10

I used to think that when someone say bad words on movies or in songs that they would mix 2 words together to make a bad word. Because if you cussed, then devil would come and take you.

Once in elementary school our teacher instructed us to write a skit. So I wrote "skit" in big cursive letters on my notebook. The kid next to me thought my 'k' was an 'h' and started gasping and saying, "You cussed!" For several years afterward I was convinced that "skit" was the s word and avoided using it at all costs.

At the age of nine, I was helping my dad fix the plumbing behind a wall. After dropping his wrench down the inside of the wall he swore, I was so shocked that I exclaimed hiw I didn't even know he knew that word!

I used to think that every time you swore, God (Im Catholic, thank you.) Would make a checkmark on a clipboard, and if her ran out of room on his clipboard, you would go to hell for bad language.

At Christmas when we heard the poem The Night Before Christmas, the one with the guy who got up and saw santa and all... well anyway there was a part where it was describing santa with his stomach that shook like jelly and all, and they said that he "turned with a jerk" and I thought that teh poem had a curseword in it, and that it said santa was a jerk.

In fourth grade my friend and I thought we were cool and swearing was the "cool" thing to do. So we would yell at her dog "Get off me you f*ck!" and use swears totally wrong everytime her mom would try and yell at us she would end up laughing.

Ok..well when I was little, my parents were watching tv, and I was in the room to..I had never heard of a basta*d...So I really dident know it was a cuss word I figured you said it when you were mad at someone. So, a day or so later I wanted to sound imporant and we were fishing and I was going to try and catch the minnow out of the bucket and it kept slipping out of my hand so i shouted///"You backstard!" and They got a good laugh at my misunerstanding and then explained I shouldent say that word...
