Proper age for curse words?

[X-Gary-Gigax-X]

What do you suppose the correct age a child should be when he first learns the 7 dirty words? Late so they don't use them innapropriately when they're little, or early so they can learn to control their words?

[HaniiPuppy]

It's not like you can control when they start swearing ... or even realise it since many children will only swear around their friends at first.

People shouldn't cuss.
It's cheap--

only under extreme moments... when you mash your thumb, when someone breaks your favorite thing, or whatever. Otherwise, it shouldn't be part of anyone's everyday lexicon. And if it is-- it's a shame.

That made some real damn fucking sense.

[DumbassDude]

Probably as soon as you hit your teens, and probably 21 when cursing infront of your parents.
Because who wants to say 'cunt' infront of their parents?

[lawlmaster]

Eighteen years old. so they can get murder charges with them.

[Twilight]

There's only 7?

So I guess the others a variations from the Thesaurus of Curses.

[Piss]

When their balls have completely dropped and they're growing armpit hair.

[doctorjmcgee]

I'll say 9 since that's when I started swearing as well as other things.

[ixintro]

I'll NEVER be old enough to swear in front of my parents, but the rough age would probably be... 12?

I used to swear SO much that the word's lost meaning when I was in middle school, now I've learned to only swear when it's truly necessary.

[dobo69]

whenever they figure out what they mean

^^ same here, 9 sound slike a good age for kids just to know what the words are, they should be at least 16 before they use them in everyday language

motherfucker

year 5 (5th grade)

[Ragestorm]

well, i learned them when i was 8, of course i lived in TEXAS at the time, but I didn't know what all of them meant until 13 or 14, so i'd say use them when you feel comfortable cursing around your parents.

with my dad I use all of em, but with my mother just when I can't help it ;)

[Matt2k8]

I'd say around 13, but that doesn't mean they can swear there head off.

[Pokemonpoeguygcn]

Everyone curse all the time so there's no point in putting a proper age for it when kids imitate everything they see

[RiuTenshin]

It depends on what type of family you were raised in. If you were raised in a fucked up environment where the word cuntnuggets was used in every sentance, or in a proper environment where it was frowned upon to curse. It depends on what you were raised on.

My parents dont mind if I cuss in front of them, just as long as I dont do it around my lil bros/sis.

[Spartanizzo]

i dont fucking think that any fucking person should start fucking cursing at any fucking time because it is so fucking rude and makes me want to fucking smack the fuck out of the fucking fucks who act like fucks because they are fucks.

I honestly believe there is no reason one should grow up attempting to hide curses from a child. I grew up hearing curses all around me including from my parents. Just make sure they know it's not appropriate for everyday use.

[Makeshift]

14. Not just cause I`m 14, but think of all the 14A rated movies.

[DJ-Divinorum]

There is no right or wrong age for curse words, the only reason why you're told to not use them when you're young is so that you don't get in a habit of using them just because "it's cool." Though technically curse words aren't even really cool, they're just ways to weaken vocabulary and strengthen ignorance. So in that case instead of teaching my child curse words, I would examplify to him the strength of verbosity in one's vocabulary, and the joy of having one clueless as to what one is saying.

Some of you may call me crazy, or weird for saying that, but I say it's genius if you stump someone.

It's just a good way to put yourself above others levels in a non immature way.

[jds74]

swearing isn't cool.
you can teach a 2 year old to swear, does that make them cool?

in other words, never >=(

[KrevZabijak]

After all this time I understand and yet I cannot fully wrap my mind around the fact that there's a social construction forbidding the usage of 'certain words.'
I mean, come on for fuck's sake. :)

[Hiphopopotamus]

12, that way they can get shout fuck at everything to get it out of their system.

[letiger]

[bobobo22]

Makeshift, you do realize that you are not using the right symbol when it comes to ' and `, right?

[xXxAlecxXx]

DON'T CUSS!

[Rozner]

Never, you sinning lunatics.
