A childhood belief about swearing

Back when my brother was about 7 or 8 he was playing "horse" out in the yard with his friend in our basketball net. Once his friend had missed three shots and had gotten, H, O and R, my brother exclaimed to my mother "Look! He's a hor!" (pronouncing it as whore)

my mother got embarassed and asked what it meant...after realizing it was just the game, she never said anything else
