Wow....at age 9, I got called on the carpet for calling my brother an "ass", which is the strongest word I had ever used up to that time.
Dropping f-bombs was not common to my experience until my university days. I dad may have used "goddam" quite a bit (My three-year-old sister once spontaneously used "hot damn" and all eyes turned accusingly to Dad), but we older kids were scrupulous about using G-rated language in the house...and it carried over into daily usage.
So profanity didn't raise its ugly head until my late teens, and has corrupted me ever since.
