    I had to do this in kindergarten. I chose to combine a frog and a duck and then loudly proclaimed what I would be calling my creation to the rest of the class. And that’s the story of how I learned that fuck was a bad word.

      I had a similar thing happen as a very young child, though my combination was not fuck but rather dog. I thought it was so funny that the combination for these two animals was a third animal that I began to announce “what would a frog and a duck be?” But before I got to my punchline my art teacher rudely interrupted me and told me I couldn’t say that.

      It took me many many years to understand what was so taboo about the word dog :(
