I thought that swear words were called square words and that they looked like a square when you wrote them down.

When I was in 4th grade my friend told me about the a-word. I believed it was part of another word, "missile", as in a rocket. Looking back, I think I must have been thinking of a**hole, but somehow the idea of a mean rocket got lodged in my brain.

When I first started school I didn't know what the middle finger was. One of the kids said "I dare you to stick out the middle finger." So I said "ok" not knowing what it was. I stuck it out and the kids were all like "ooooo" and I was like "what? what did I do?" I didn't get in trouble though.

One time when I was 6 I heard some one say FUCK and I thought they said fug. So at Christmas that year when all my relitives were here they were giving all the atension to my baby brother. They were using baby talk like whose a little baby wabbie. So I went up to my baby brother and said whose a little fuga fuga fuga and every body broke out laughing.

When I was about 7 or 8 I hung around with a girl in the neighborhood who was about 12. One day some kids going by on a school bus flipped us the bird. I ased her what that meant. She said, "What's the worst word you could think of?" I said, "Sh**?" "No, no," she said, "it starts with an 'F.'" I stared at her blankly... "An F then a U..?" she said. Finally she gave up and just whispered it to me. I said, "What does that mean?" Frustrated, she walked away. I didn't find out until about four years later.

A while ago I was out with some friends and I met some of their other friends who I didn't know. We were about 15. My friend said something about her being from Germany, and one of these guys I didn't know said he could swear in German. She said 'Go on then' and he said something I didn't understand. My friend who spoke German then laughed uncontrollably for a while and then managed to tell us he'd said something along the lines of "You beer bottle!".

I was about 4 watching the Naked Gun movie, and Leslie Nielsen instructed someone to stick their middle finger up. I had no idea what it meant, but seeing as how everyone laughed at that scene, I kept doing it to everyone because I thought it was supposed to be funny. Everyone kept telling me not to do it, but since they couldn't explain to me why it was bad, I just kept at it.

When I was little I would get confused in which word was okay to say "damn" or "darn"...Of course I always used the wrong one and my dad would let me have it...Now that I am an adult I realize I was confused because damn is the word my dad always uses, however he says God d@^* .

My brother used to think that "crap" was a swear word. Well one day I said it to him (in one of our MANY fights) and he told me back that he would tell on me for sayingit, that I was going to get into so much trouble. I told him it wasn't a swear word and he insisted that it was. After awhile I got annoyed and yelled out to my Dad "IS CRAP A SWEAR WORD??" After my Dad finished laughing, he informed us that it wasn't but still not a nice thing to say. I turn stuck out my tongue to my brother and said "So there!"

Due to influences of the word “$#!†”, I believed the word “sick” was a swear word.

ok i am a white gurl 2 start off with. Now i have always eavesdropped on my mother as a child (which i still am, so i still do) and i picked up a lot of stuff. And i noticed that she always whispered the word "black" when she was talking about somebody that was well, black. I actually believed untill i was 12 that this was a repulsive thing to call someone because my mother would always whisper this word. It actually ended up bieng a word in my crossword puzzle for health(dont ask) and i couldnt get the answer because i thought it was a curse!! I yelled at my mother so much for that one!

When I was in 2nd grade, I found out what the middle finger was, it's terrifying impact that is. I was from then on scared stiff that I had accidentally lifted my middle finger and left all the other ones down. I mean, who remembers what their finger has done for the past 7 years. I believed I could go to hell if it ever happened, so I was terrified that I had accidentally did it, or was going to.
