My little brother used to believe that the 'bat man' dance (where you streak two fingers across each eye) was a swear word. My other brother and I used to walk up to him and do it all the time just to get him to think we were swearing at him.
He also believed that teenagers were people that walked around in trench coats and flashed everyone.
