When I was in Kindergarten, me and my friends heard the word "F***" in a movie and decided it was a quick way to say "forget".
Not too much later in the movie, we heard the word "s***" and decided it was the word "sheet" with a thick accent.
About a week later, we were all in class, and one of my friends was having significant trouble with a math worksheet we were doing. However, the sheet was not being taken for a grade, so, with the teacher all of three feet away, I loudly and proudly showed off my accent with the phrase "f*** that s***!"
I remember thinking, "Did the teacher mark all over her face in red crayon?"
I also remember taking math worksheets very seriously the rest of that year.
