What age you first learned swear words

I grew up around it my whole life (I'm now 40). Actually, only within the last 5 - 10 years has my dad backed off on it.

I love profanity.
 

 

When I was in second grade I pointed at something with my middle finger. Some kid said he was going to tell the teacher what I did. I had no earthly idea what I had done wrong and I suspect it was 3 or 4 years before I found out. Of course, this was in the 1960s.

 

**** i dunno

 

I actually don't swear. I never have. Every now and then, I'll type a few curse words, but that's it. I guess that's not very manly of me.

Funny story, though....

When I was young, for some reason, my favorite player (non-Astro) was David Justice. My brother's was Jose Canseco, and my dad's was Jeff Bagwell. So, I'm about 7, my brother's 9 or 10, and my sister's about 13. We're all sitting in the living room with m dad, and somehow a debate arises between who's favorite player is the best. My dad ends up saying that Canseco and Justice were pu**ies, and I shot back with, (as loud as I can) "NUH UH! JEFF BAGWELL IS A PU**Y!"

My dad was like, "What did you say, boy?"

That out the fear of God in me, because I had no idea what I had said.

 

some girl beat me at four square in 4th grade, and somehow I came up with the MFkr word even though I don't remember hearing it

 

I was probably 6. My brother was a great influence on me.

 

4th grade i used to swear on the playground. that's about the best i can remember.. who knows who taught me. someone at school? hearing my brother more likely?

i'm just surprised that superfob started a random hangout thread.. must be more bored than ever

 

I was 32.

 

I think I pretty much always knew cuss words, since my dad used them regularly.

But it was in 4th grade I think before I actually used them. I remember a classmate telling me and a friend that "its ok to cuss, just don't do it in front of the teacher."

That was also the year I learned about that "special" thing a wife does to a husband with her mouth. heh. I was pretty shocked, I must say. What little I knew.

 

My Dad is a contractor/home builder and he tells a story about taking out me out on job site on a Saturday when I was 2 or 3. He was trying to fix something, hit his thumb with a hammer and let out an F-bomb. He didn't think I heard but a couple minutes later he heard me out in the yard saying "F--- f--- f---..." I was so young I don't even remember it having.

Past that, growing up around carpenters and construction workers, I heard more than my fair share of "colorful" language, to say the least.

 

I remember in the 2nd grade, after having seen "Smokey and the Bandit", I started sprinkling the s-word into some of my conversations with my friends.

But I'm pretty sure I was aware of them prior to that.

 

7.. and i was intelligent enough to know.. not to spout them off either indirectly in the company of adults.. or directly to them.. and had a good grasp of the notion, "there is a time and a place"..

yes.. a seven year old is capable of hearing/learning/including swears in his little vocabularly.. while still maintaining a good sense of manners and etiquette..

unless of course.. you are or have.. a particularly.. slow child..

 

When I was a newborn baby I pulled myself across the table.

 

I don't say cuss words, I just spell them out.

 

When I was 9 my dad asked me what swear words I knew, and then proceeded to teach me some.

Of course I'd learned some basic ones in school before then, but my dad teaching me to swear has always been a memorable event.

 

ah.. that moestavern19 irrelevant humor..

no.. unlike mister Macbeth's self-deluded, aggrandizing tall-tales.. this is not only true.. but very achievable.. and quite within the realm of possibility..

 

Around age 13-14.
