Abigail's g-word and s-word

Every now and then Abigail will ask me if something is a bad word, and most of the time the words she comes up with aren't really that bad.   A few months ago she came and told me that someone at school said the g-word.  Now for the life of me I couldn't think of a bad word that started with a g.  Finally, I just told her to tell me the word and that she wouldn't get in trouble for saying it. 

The g-word is guts. 

I didn't get it at first, but in the context of one kid telling another kid "I hate your guts!", it does sound pretty bad.  I laughed a little, and then I explained to her that guts was not a bad word, but when used in that sentence is not nice. 

A few nights ago she told me that some people say wth, and that it stands for a bad word.  I was shocked, because I am pretty slow figuring out all the little texting abbreviations and only recently figured out, that wth stands for 'what the hell'.  I asked her over and over, who told her about that.  I told her that it was very ugly and I that I didn't want her saying wth.  First she tried to tell me that she just thought of it herself.  After she knew I wasn't buying that, she swears up and down she can can't remember who told her.  After all this dramatic conversation I ask her to tell me what wth stands for.  She says it stands for what the heck. Not as bad as I thought, but still not good.

I guess Abigail figured since we were having a conversation about bad words, she would just go ahead and tell me that kids at school use the s-word.  I couldn't believe it, well actually I can.  I tell her that is a very very bad word and not to say it ever. 

Then it hits me that almost every time I think I know what bad word she is talking about, I am usually wrong.  So I ask her if the s-word, start with the sh sound.  She looks at me like I am crazy and  says no.  Abigail's s-word is stupid.  I always tend to think the worst. 

I hate that she will inevitably be exposed to all the bad words, but I am glad that right now in her 6 year old mind, guts and stupid are about as bad as it gets.
