I liked the backstreet boys in grade 3. Now I know they are all gay.

Except for Justin Timberlake, who slept with Britney Spears (when she was hotter).

Moot point. MJ married that Presley chick and, well, need more be said?

Doesn't quite fit the criteria, but anyways:

When I was 5ish I was playing around pretending I was a car. So I was walking around with one hand on an imaginary steering wheel, the other on an imaginery gearshift and having a great time. Along with that my walking speed changed with the RPMs of the Engine. Now I usually would have used "Waaaaaa...waaaa" for the Engine sounds, but this particular time I used a different sound that went like this, "Fuuuuuuuuk...fuuuuuuuk". After playing for sometime my mother suddenly appears looking shocked and tells me not to use that word. I was somewhat confused what the big deal was, but went back to play. For some reason I just couldn't stop using my new engine sound and soon my mother was totally pissed at me and I receive quite the tanning. :D

I didn't understand what the word was, but I did learn that day to never say it in my mothers presence again!
