Although I suspect you of acting like you don't know the word for "bathroom" because you know it's one of the ten words I can say and that it makes me feel very proud of myself to tell you how to say it. And I thank you for that. Also, teach me more Chinese cuss words! Amy: True enough. Although I do have a fair number of students who have started using "defecate" and "excrement" instead of shit. As in, "the new schedule is the excrement of a cow." When they break out their thesauruses, it really kind of does turn into a living Everything Is Illuminated passage. Chris: interesting!

The brain stores them in a different part of the brain that isn't as inundated with new language, so it's easier to recall. Hence I can cuss you down in Chinese, but I can't ever remember how to say "bathroom" when it's important. actually, it’s a linguistic fact that it’s easier to learn swear words than any other type of word or grammar rule.
