Talking of swearing, my dad had a hang up with us kids not pronouncing the 't' in words and would get us to repeat it 10 times properly. One evening at the dinner table, my brother, about 5 or 6 at the time, said sh*t without pronouncing the 't'. I have never seen a my bruv so delighted and happy when my dad asked him to say the word, ten times properly, standing on his chair, esp when he thought he was in for a *******ing. I can remember my dad saying something along the lines of 'well, if he's going to insist on swearing, he can at least do it properly!'.
