When I was about 7 or 8 I strongly believed that in Michael Jackson's “Beat It” when he says "Showin' how funky strong is your fight" that he was saying "fuck-y". I knew it was a bad word and was shocked that he would say such a thing. Well in second grade we had an assembly with a dance set to that song. I vehemently insisted to my friends that he was saying “fuck-y”. They promptly turned me into the teacher for swearing. Fearing repercussion from the teacher or my parents, I ran out of the room crying and was so embarrassed that I couldn't look anyone in the eye for the rest of the day.
