In my family little girls were not allowed to say the word "fart" so for the longest time I thought it was the f-word. When I was about ten years old it finally dawned on me that fart wasn't a cuss word after I saw the actual f-word spray painted on the side of my elementary school.

I used to believe the word "wow" was a curseword. One day I said it aloud on the playground expecting to get looks from the other kids. I was completely shocked when no one paid much attention.
When I was young I met a man who said "BS" in almost every sentence. I asked my dad what BS meant. He told me it meant "Bachelor of Storytelling". It wasn't until several years later that I learned it meant bullshit.

I used to believe there was a legal age limit to swearing.

When I was about 4, I dropped a piece of carrot from my plate onto the floor. In my frustration, I uttered a random syllable, which happened to be the "F-word". My parents were shocked, and my mom said "Do you know what that word means?? It means 'kill your mother'!" Until I was about 13 I believed that that was another meaning of that word.

We told me little brother that the worse swearword was 'bridgewater' & then would stand behind my mum & use it liberally just to upset the little squirt!!! He believed it for years & is now in an institution! OK, so that last bit was a lie!

I believed that all swear words were modern inventions and that someone sat in an office creating them, just like someone else who created jokes, *all* of them.
