swearing

I thought 'sex' was a swearword.

i used to believe that you were only swearing if you said 'oh god' - if you said 'oh MY god' it was fine.

I believed that "bad words" (shit, fuck, damn, etc.) were illegal up until a certain age. I thought that when I turned a certain age, I would be able to say all of them as often & freely as I pleased. I also believed that "idiot" was a curse & so i never said it. & I got mad at my friends when THEY said it, because I thought they were cursing.

when i was about 3 years old my mom said motherf****r, and i didn't know at the time that it was a bad word, and one day i said it to these guys and my mom rushed out and said "why did you say that word", and I said "because you said it mommy", and she said never to say cuss words.

When I was 15 years old, I mention the word "pussy" and there was teenage women accusing me of saying a bad word then I was put to detention for the whole day. Because I thought that "pussy" meant cat, I first heard that word from a James Bond movie, Goldfinger and Octopussy.

When I was 6, I heard my mom say pitiful, so I snuck under the kitchen table when nobody was looking and whisper "pitiful, pitiful, pitiful,"to myself because I thought a noughty word!!!

I believed that if I used bad language God would strike me dead. I was 15yrs.old before I realised that my father swore with ease and was still alive.It never became a habit though.

when I was a kid most of the men adult around the house used to say this F*** you for nothing so one time my mom was teaching me how to sing Happy Birthday song and I thought I heard her singing Happy Birthday F*** you and I started to sing Happy Birthday F*** you over and over again since then they never mention that bad words inside the house anymore.

When I was about five or six, my parents had a friend who would come over a lot. He was telling my dad one day that his daughter had bought a parrot, and he was very angry with her for teaching it "the F word".
When I asked what this word was, my mum replied that the F word was "Bog off, fancy friend"
I corrected her, and said that fancy friend was not rude, and she said that Bog off was. And when I said that Bog off does not start with F, she said "Yes, but Fancy friend does"

when my friend and me were in fourth grade, she said that if u did the middle finger and touched it to something, like for example a pencil, then if u touched that pencil u would be cursed and get cooties or something like that. on the bus once i "accidentally" gave the middle finger and touched it to the front of the seat in front of us. for the rest of the ride, we sat indian style on the seat, desperately trying not to touch the seat in front of us

I used to believe that it’s OK to use what Mom said when I was 6, but I realized it’s the opposite. My high school and the bus are “profanity havens,” so I said some goofy words (“Trompin’ Trombones, Oh Reppies, etc.) in place of them (especially saying God’s name in vain).

I once 'almost' swore in gradeschool. I said the word buster, reffering to a classmate but he thought i said 'bastard'. The whole class later started to scold me and threaten to tell the teachers saying i would be expelled. I thought there was some sort of conspiracy after that against me. I've kept my mouth quiet around them ever since although NOW they are the ones who swear about everything.

When I was in 4th grade my friend told me about the a-word. I believed it was part of another word, "missile", as in a rocket. Looking back, I think I must have been thinking of a**hole, but somehow the idea of a mean rocket got lodged in my brain.

When I first started school I didn't know what the middle finger was. One of the kids said "I dare you to stick out the middle finger." So I said "ok" not knowing what it was. I stuck it out and the kids were all like "ooooo" and I was like "what? what did I do?" I didn't get in trouble though.

One time when I was 6 I heard some one say FUCK and I thought they said fug. So at Christmas that year when all my relitives were here they were giving all the atension to my baby brother. They were using baby talk like whose a little baby wabbie. So I went up to my baby brother and said whose a little fuga fuga fuga and every body broke out laughing.
