Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How old were you when you dropped your first F BOMB

My first word at 1 year old

Grew up w livestock. Probably was on the tit while mom tried to help or back something up.

Wasn't something heard much.
Even drunks in the bar didn't drop F-bombs if kids or women were around.


Mom went to beauty school after Dad died, she was about 35.

"I learned stuff from those young city girls I'd never heard in my life.
Not from Dad (mining town raised, WWII vet, alcoholic), your Dad,
or the loggers and truckers at Luke (paper mill). And I was around truckers from 4 or 5 states when I hauled wood to the mill."

I don't use it around ladies or kids, but I sure have adopted it
in other environments.
Sometimes, I offend myself when I realize how many times it was used in one statement. Or how many sentences have one.

"But I didnt say fudge"

I was probably about 25, was a few years into construction before I picked up the language.

Never heard a cuss word at home ever, did at school obviously.

I distinctly remember it. I was 8 and a friend of mine said it. I went home and said it to my mom and got my arse beat. I couldn’t understand why at the time either as I didn’t know what it meant.

Eight. I heard it from an older boy. I went back home and brought out my newly found treasure at the dinner table.

My mother honestly did not know the word or what it meant. Dad did, and explained it was not for polite company.

Was fishing on Jennette's Pier in the OBX, my mom was with me I caught a crab. She told me I had to take it off the hook. Story goes I told her I wasn't f##king with it. My grandpa laughed and quickly walked away. I wasn't allowed to hang out in the shop much after that.

I doubt it was the first time but after a week of deer camp at 15, pass the f^cking salt at dinner time was a big no no.

How old are you…12??

My mom was sickly all of my early life, so I spent most days at my dad's American Gas filling station. We had that old 104 octane "white gas" so all the hot rodders hung out there. So, not sure exactly, but it was young.
However, one morning before school I said "F..K It" after not getting an answer from my mom about what I was wearing for the day..........my parents had a pretty strict dress code.

My dad thought he heard "fu...you" to my mom.
Dude had smoke coming from his ears and no explaining was going to work. Had to be early elementary because I remember the red of his forehead was about the same as the red shag carpet we had in the 70's.

He actually MADE my mom slap me across the mouth.

To this day, I have never cursed a woman for ANY thing. Including my vindictive former spouse.

Was in the Grocery with mom, asked her to buy Buck Wheats, about a year later I figured out what I got knocked out for.

Bout 1955 was trying to impress my brother with my new found vocabulary and got slapped halfway across the barn. He further scolded saying that was the language of colored people and we don't talk like that. I never in my life heard him use crude gutter or ghetto terms although he was far from being religious.
