When I was about 8 or so, I was listening to talk radio in the car when the speaker was talking about an "n-word." Gasp! I thought I knew all the swear words. I asked my Mom what it was and she lied saying she didn't know. I thought I could figure it out. I rattled of a bunch of made-up words starting with "n." I wasn't very creative. They were words like, "nit" and "nuck."
