Today, I have to look after my best friend's parrot for a few days. One minute out of the room, I came back in to find out that the parrot had taught my three-year-old the word "slut". Now the two won't stop screaming "slut" throughout the whole house. My wife thinks both learned the word from me. FML

Today, I was drinking at the local pub and started talking to a really cute guy. I bent down to pick up my bag and the second I did, I felt like I was going to throw up. I clamped my mouth shut in the vain hope that I could block it but as I stood back up, vomit sprayed out through my nose. FML

Who said the friend even taught him that? The bird could have had a previous owner that taught it foul words, or even heard it when the tv was on and just started repeating it.

Because there's nothing funnier than a foul mouthed, cussing parrot. How else would you wear an eye patch and pretend you're a pirate if your parrot can't cuss?

If a word or phrase is said in a manner that makes an impression on the parrot and that parrot is an African Gray it takes 1 time for it to learn the word. That is why our African Gray says "Damn it Henri".

What's this got to do with sexism? It's whether the parrot had taught the word to the child, or the husband did. Unless the parrot's a female human being, then I'm missing something her, lol.
