My father is in the Army and I have lived over-seas in Europe my whole life. So insted of using English cursewords they would say it in German or Dutch so I wouldn't understand it. They told me never to repete them because they would curse me becuase I was young. Well when I was about 10 I thought I was old enough to figure out what these words ment, so I went up to these German guys and said, "Shizerkompfs" wich, well, means "S***heads" in German, they just looked at me and my mom yelled at me right there. I learned my lesson.
