swearing

When I was about 7 or 8 I hung around with a girl in the neighborhood who was about 12. One day some kids going by on a school bus flipped us the bird. I ased her what that meant. She said, "What's the worst word you could think of?" I said, "Sh**?" "No, no," she said, "it starts with an 'F.'" I stared at her blankly... "An F then a U..?" she said. Finally she gave up and just whispered it to me. I said, "What does that mean?" Frustrated, she walked away. I didn't find out until about four years later.

A while ago I was out with some friends and I met some of their other friends who I didn't know. We were about 15. My friend said something about her being from Germany, and one of these guys I didn't know said he could swear in German. She said 'Go on then' and he said something I didn't understand. My friend who spoke German then laughed uncontrollably for a while and then managed to tell us he'd said something along the lines of "You beer bottle!".

I was about 4 watching the Naked Gun movie, and Leslie Nielsen instructed someone to stick their middle finger up. I had no idea what it meant, but seeing as how everyone laughed at that scene, I kept doing it to everyone because I thought it was supposed to be funny. Everyone kept telling me not to do it, but since they couldn't explain to me why it was bad, I just kept at it.

When I was little I would get confused in which word was okay to say "damn" or "darn"...Of course I always used the wrong one and my dad would let me have it...Now that I am an adult I realize I was confused because damn is the word my dad always uses, however he says God d@^* .

confused no more

I had a friend who thought Shumk was the most horrible swear in the world. Whenever i used it she would yell at me and hit me.

My brother used to think that "crap" was a swear word. Well one day I said it to him (in one of our MANY fights) and he told me back that he would tell on me for sayingit, that I was going to get into so much trouble. I told him it wasn't a swear word and he insisted that it was. After awhile I got annoyed and yelled out to my Dad "IS CRAP A SWEAR WORD??" After my Dad finished laughing, he informed us that it wasn't but still not a nice thing to say. I turn stuck out my tongue to my brother and said "So there!"

"What does FUCK mean?"
She stared yelling at me and then I never said it ever. again until 7TH GRADE!! hahahah lol

ok i am a white gurl 2 start off with. Now i have always eavesdropped on my mother as a child (which i still am, so i still do) and i picked up a lot of stuff. And i noticed that she always whispered the word "black" when she was talking about somebody that was well, black. I actually believed untill i was 12 that this was a repulsive thing to call someone because my mother would always whisper this word. It actually ended up bieng a word in my crossword puzzle for health(dont ask) and i couldnt get the answer because i thought it was a curse!! I yelled at my mother so much for that one!

When I was in 2nd grade, I found out what the middle finger was, it's terrifying impact that is. I was from then on scared stiff that I had accidentally lifted my middle finger and left all the other ones down. I mean, who remembers what their finger has done for the past 7 years. I believed I could go to hell if it ever happened, so I was terrified that I had accidentally did it, or was going to.

When I was 6 I was so impressed with myself knowing cuss words, so I bragged to my 5 year old cousing "I know the F word and you don't!" He said "There IS no F word!" I told him what it was and he was like "F**K is not a bad word!" I called him "stupid" so he went running inside to tell his mom that I said the "S" word and ask if there was an "F" word. I was so embarrased that I hid in the closet for 2 hours. Lol.
