I used to believe…
for some reason, i distinctly remember the first time i heard the words "shit" and "fuck". i was sitting in the doctors' surgery with my mum and best friend, aged about 5 or 6 (i'm guessing). anyway, my best friend was repeating these words and i asked if i could have one. i rather liked the sound of "fuck", thinking it just sounded nice and round and squidgy as a word. i adopted this word and it was only later that i learned it's true meaning. I was disappointed to find out that my lovely word meant something so "rude" and "naughty".
