swearing

I remember that when my friend's sister was really little she thought that the pointer finger was the "swear finger", so she would always start counting with her middle finger.

I used to think 'crap' was a cuss word. And a girl at my gymnastics class would always say 'crap' whenever she fell. I always wondered why she didn't get in trouble.

When my brother and I were little my parents told us that it was against the law to swear if you were under 18 (probably to keep us from repeating some of the stuff we heard from our father). I'm embarassed to say that I believed this until I was about 10.

My friend had two older siblings and seemed to always know more than me. When we were in second grade, he said, "I don't know why everyone thinks f*ck is a bad word. It just means butt." Not wanting to seem ignorant, I said, "Oh, I know!"

when i was younger i had watched the movie a Christmas story, and remembered the one kid getting in trouble for saying something bad.it had said fudge instead of f*** and then was saying how it wasn't fudge but another word.i hadn't paid attention to the last part ,so for years thought fudge was a bad word.

i used to think that i couldn't say the store name hechts because i thought it was a bad word because my mom always said use the word heck instead if hell when saying what the heck(or hell) so i also thought heck was a bad word

In my house it has never been ok to talk to someone badly.....so we never said shutup to each other. One day i got mad at my sister and told her to shutup. Anyways she got upset and told my mom that i said "bitch" i got in so much trouble...still haven't gotten her back yet.

When i was about 10 i was in a resteraunt with my mum andbrother. After i eat there was some sugar cubes. so me and my brother kept eating them all.He said "suck it" and i said "in a min". About 2minutes later he said " OH bite it". Then i replied " No im F****** it" I Ment to say im sucking it but it was so big i could hardly move my mouth. Because it was a accident my mum thought it was quite funny :D

I was about 6 and my mum and I were on our way home from the movies. Well, it was pretty late, and as we passed a store, I saw a sign in the window that read "Store Hours..." I read it aloud "Store WHORES". Well, that's what I thought it was. Needless to say, my mum made me promise never to repeat it again

WEll, this isn't exactly my belief, it's my friends, but still....

when my friend arthur was little, he called his mum the C word. he was amazed at his mothers reaction, as he thought that it ment 'twit'!

I was always the type of kid to want to show everyone what I knew. I was about 6 and I was talking to my mom and she called me one of those pet names that was still kind of insulting like "rump roast", so I thinking that I would make a come back would call her a w(hore).....thinking it was another way to say horse. OPPS! My bad.

No harm no foul

my cousin was taught that the word for asshole was "pipe."

i used to think "BS" stood for "Britney Spears."

When I was in third grade, my friend's older sister convinced me that when some one said 'BS' it meant ' boloney sandwich'.
