#40: Cussing Is a Big No-No
Instead of using the word “swearing”, like the rest of the world, Americans love to say “cussing.” This one isn’t as funny, but it sure is adorable! We can’t help but wonder about this word’s origin story, though. Who knows, but we can’t stop giggling at the thought of a teacher telling a group of children to stop cussing!
Sorry, but we’re really stuck on where this slang term came from. Here’s our theory: someone couldn’t fully pronounce the word cursing, and cussing was the result. What do you guys think? It seems like a pretty plausible explanation, right? Keep it up with creating funny, adorable slang words America!
