to what "name calling" and "dirty words" do you refer, Penelope? when I was a kid----
long ago-----in the 1950s----my mom would not
allow the word "n*gger" ------to me it was one of the most DIRTY words in existence. She was so sensitive to it that she STOPPED a playmate from "eeenie meeeni mieneee mo---
catch a "n*gger by the toe" My playmate was SO Christian that she took me to her sunday school classes ----and made a paper
cross for me in case I should encounter "the
devil" -----nice kid-----just aculturated a bit unlike me She used the "N" word very freely and with disdain. (I was horrified--
but she also thought a bunny brought her jelly beans--so I coped) One day I said the word
"HELL"-----she cried and ran to her mother to
report my "dirty word"
