When I was younger (first grade I think) I came home from school one day and randomly asked my mother "Mommy, is 'duh' a swear?" All I remember is her replying "Yes, dear" and me running off to pray for God's forgiveness for all the times I had said duh. I also urged all my friends to do the same in school the next day. Then, about a week later, during lunch, we asked an older boy something, to which he replied "No duh". Needless to say, we avoided that boy for the rest of the year.
