I'll never forget the first time I said that word in front of my dad. He was driving me to school-- a punishment, as I had carelessly dented my car and it was in the shop-- and I thought that he would drive off the side of the road. He was absolutely frosted.

I have often wondered if the "no cussing in polite company" thing was a Southern tradition but folks move around so frequently now that such a distinction may be hard to verify, if it ever existed at all.
