My mom was a fan of western books as a child, and she told me about one of the first times her dad took her to see a western movie. The characters were in a saloon, and there were some 'ladies' of dubious virtue present as well. Nothing happened (ah, family friendly movies!), but afterwards, my grandfather asked her if she knew what those 'ladies' were.
"Oh, yes! They're 'wars'!" >_>
ie, 'whores' by a young kid who hadn't ever heard the word.
