Today, I was talking to one of my British friends online, and he told me to say "yew anchors" a few times really fast. I'm a fairly stupid person, and wasn't very focused, so I did as he said. When I finally figured what the words meant, my dad had heard and grounded me for cursing. FML

I don't think it translates all that well with my California accent.

I never understood why people decided to set aside certain words as "bad words". It seems really childish.

I don't think it's "childish" if it's only adults who implement such things. I get your point though.

It's just the fact that certain words are considered rude, and therefore society uses those words rudely. If the word "bum" was taken by society to be as rude/bad a word as the "F" word than I wouldn't want my kid to say it and I probably wouldn't say it myself. It's not the words themselves but how society views them and how people use them.

I was once told to look down my shirt and slowly spell A-T-T-I-C. Took a few tries to understand the joke.

That's not really a curse. Your dad sounds like a wanker.

I think in the U.S., and correct me if I'm wrong, it has a more insulting meaning, which is to be George W. Bush.
