I was recently surprised to hear small kids <5 year old) use certain 
"gross/funny" words that were already popular with small kids 40 years ago. 
Since these words are only used by kids, you won't find them in books and 
parents/teachers are unlikely to use them. One can only guess that each 
generation of kids n pass them on to generation n+1. That's a 100% oral 
tradition, flying below the parental and academic radars and disconnected 
from the mainstream cultural environment. It's pretty amazing actually.
