LOL. One time when I was tutoring some kids in their home, I said one of those words I heard in an anime (I think it was ドラえもん　 . Anyway, I mentioned it in one of the classes, thinking that it was OK to say it front of kids because it was in an anime, after all. But ママ became very flustered and I ended up losing that lucrative job. ちくしょう！
