[QUOTE="slsh, post: 131669, member: 8"] I absolutely agree with Sheila - I think it's emphasis and emotion attached with the utterance of the word, as well as the reaction of those around when the word is uttered. Kids pick up on that fast. From a *very* young age, any curse word just tickled Boo - would send him into gales of laughter. Now, I'm not Ms. Manners and have been known to utter a word or two, but when I realized how he was reacting, I really tried to get a grip on my vocabulary. My new "curse" became "Texas". It's really a very satisfying word to spew when you're frustrated. "Oh, TEXas!" Boo picked up on it right away and it could have been any other inappropriate word as far as he was/is concerned. He still gives a good belly laugh over Texas, which confuses a lot of people. ;) [/QUOTE]
