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.
