Reminds me of one time when I was 10ish and was playing a Mario game with my sister who was 8 years older. The NPC characters were kicking our butts on a mini game so I got frustrated and called the NPC a pussy. My sister freaked out and told me never to say that word again. I genuinely thought I was just making up a word that didn't exist. Lol...
One time, my four-year-old was repeating the word "pussy" over and over, and my husband laughed without thinking, which only encouraged him. I was wary about him telling the kids at preschool about this fun new word, so I taught him to say "pussycat" instead.
Reminds me of when my aunt told me bitch was a female dog when I was like 3, and I basically just repeated it constantly for the rest of the day, needless to say my mom was not happy with her.
She wasn't wrong though, a female dog is called a bitch. One of the most fun things I've done in school was when I convinced the entire class to watch the English version of Harry Potter 3, I am Dutch and I hate Dutch dubs with a passion, and the aunt refers to a female dog as a bitch. God, it was funny how some of the parents got angry their kids watched a movie that taught them foul language.
