Before Steven was born Amethyst used to say ‘fuck’ all the time & so when he was a baby Greg had to sit her down and explain that she has to stop swearing around Steven because he’s young & impressionable

So Amethyst is like “but that’s my favourite word, when will be stop being young & impressionable so I can say it again??”

And Greg is like “uhh I don’t know, 15 I guess? 15 is probably old enough” 

“Got it”

flash forward to Steven’s fifteenth birthday and he is woken at dawn by Amethyst yelling “wake the FUCK up Steven it’s FUCKING TIME”

& he spends the entire day losing his mind

Steven: w-what’s happening

Garnet: *deadpan* Amethyst just got her favourite word back

Amethyst: *running around the house* FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

Greg: what’s going on

Amethyst: you said once Steven was 15 I could say fuck again

Greg, who only hazily recalls the conversation in question: ……i DID?

Amethyst: *runs outside* FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK *distant sounds of spooked birds*

Pearl: Steven the *whispering* F-word is a bad word that Amethyst USED to say before-

Steven: I know what fuck means Pearl

Amethyst: *stopping dead in her tracks* WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATT??

Pearl: who taught you that word mister!!

Steven: um… Lars and Sadie… *mumbling* five years ago…

Amethyst: I’ve been denying myself my favourite word for FIVE YEARS for NOTHING??

Greg: uh even if he knows what it means it’s still not really appropriate for you t-

Amethyst: *running outside* FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCK

Steven: …

Greg: …

Pearl: …

Garnet: …*quietly* fuck

Everyone else: O_O

Garnet: what. I missed it too

also Amethyst made a banner that says HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY STEVEN in very large writing

Connie: what’s going on

Steven: Amethyst is allowed to say fuck now

Connie: oh! are we all allowed to say fuck now??

Greg & Pearl in unison: NO!!

Peridot: what’s fuck

My personal headcanon is that there is a list of words Amethyst is not allowed to say in front of Steven.
Vidalia taught her about half of them. Amethyst has shared this list with Peridot.

If asked about why she did so, Amethyst would insist that is was to make sure Peri didn’t use them in case she had already picked them up from elsewhere. Everyone knows this is a transparent lie and that she just really wanted to hear Peridot discovering human swear words.

By Gem standards Peridot already swears like a sailor.

Not only does Peri swear like a sailor, when Amethyst teaches her earth swear words Peridot gives her the Home World equivalent. 

When Pearl overhears the “lesson” she starts to get upset. Only to told it was an important cultural exchange in order to prevent mishaps when speaking between visiting gems in the future. One wouldn’t want to accidentally call someone a dusty hunk of
coprolite would they?

I swear, it’s like Pearl doesn’t care about the Crystal Gems being able to conduct proper diplomacy. Knowing what words not to say is very important. 😉

I hc that Peri has the saltiest mouth, but her curses are always arranged in the strangest and most nonsensical ways way. “shut ur fuck” “what the bitch” “I’m so done with this ass” “hot hell”, etc.
