When I was little I understood that there were certain secret words that you were never ever supposed to say, & that some of them are worse than others-- so even after I had learned all of the actual swears, I figured there must be some left that I had never heard, that were even worse, that I would learn when I got older. I was disappointed when I found out that fuck and shit and so forth are all there is. Sometimes I still hope that there really are more swears for me to learn, but you're not allowed to learn them until you're 40 years old (like the Kabbalah)!
