I snagged my father's slang dictionary when I was in the sixth grade (we were immigrants, and geeky, so a slang dictionary made perfect sense to my parents). I specifically made a point of reading and memorizing it, so I wouldn't feel like such a dork when the kids around me would cuss. Ultimately, I ended up with a better vocabulary than they had (including "felching" and "rimming," which I was able to explain to others who had a thirst for slightly icky knowledge).
