A childhood belief about swearing

when my brother and i were in a public place with our mother and actually getting along, to irritate her we would each say one syllable of a bad word and we thought we were so tough... for example:
ME: Sh
BRO: -it

and we would get faster and faster untill our mom told us she was getting a headache. she never really yelled at us for what we're doing. She yells at me now when i say 'damn' and i'm 22.
