When I was a child, I overheard my second eldest brother and his friends saying that when they were children, they knew all of the swear words except the long one beginning with "m." For some reason, I thought the elusive "m" word must have been "Makker." I never dared use this word and was shocked when I heard that it can short for "Malcolm." I then decided I must be wrong and was puzzled until discovering the word was in fact "mother******."
