When I was 5, I had never heard the F word but was willing to learn.
I saw and heard my 5 year old cousin telling off his mother on the back porch;
"ninny!" no reaction
"poop!" no reaction
"ass!" she slapped him across the face.

I had heard those words before, but this gave me insight into the power of each.

Almost as far back as I can remember. My most recent use as an adjective about 5 minutes ago. As a verb approximately an hour ago.

Really, while present in the English language as far back as the penning of "Pilgrim's Progress, the word seems yo have become entrenched in American slang in the 1960s, or at least that's how Iremember things. Correction last use as an adjective 30 seconds ago referring to my cell phone.

I was probable 6 or 7 . Learned the word from some older kids. Spoke them to my friend and by the time I got home my Mother already knew about it and was waiting with a bar of soap to "wash my dirty mouth out"

I lived in a very small town, word traveled fast.

Hard to say, punishment would vary between mom washing my mouth out with soap or dad reintroducing my ass end to his belt. Probably 7 or 8, wasn’t anything to document the exact date.

When you or your friends start saying it around each other is meaningless. It's when Dad and his friends are totally cool saying it in front of you that you are a proper adult. Still don't say it around the pretty brunette that popped me out of her very often, though. Mom can swear a blue streak if she wants to, as can her sister. The wimminfolk they produced are comfortable with it as well. Doesn't mean I'll break out the UD grade filth I've come up with around them

Third effing grade. No clue where or how I'd heard it as I was pretty sheltered. But I thought I'd invented a new word.

After school I asked if I could go to Toms, mom said no. Well FUQK! why not ? My really religious mom nearly lost her mind, the absolute worst azz whipping she ever gave me. Broke a yardstick, then grabbed a shoe. I started crying so bad & screaming what was wrong, what did I do? & she finally realized I didn't know any better. She proceeded to inform me it was bad & she better not hear it again,,,, she didn't, not from me anyway.

Yep! a clear memory. laugh

.not that we didn't deserve it.

I don't remember, mom knocked me out.

Life was never really the same after that.

No idea, but not that young. I'd never heard a grown man use the word till my first summer working at a ranch out here when I was 15. Old ranch manager used it liberally lol.

Hate Forsythia bushes to this day. Had a big one at the back corner of the house. But the most feared thing was being handed a knife & told to go cut a switch. Tried bringing back little ones, & was told added licks would be added if the next one wasn't proper.

I was a well mannered child most of the time,, or else.
