Plot
SpongeBob and Patrick discover a swear word scribbled on the Krusty Krab dumpster. Although SpongeBob is unsure of its meaning, Patrick assures him that it is a 'sentence enhancer' that will make them sound "fancy." The two repeat the word incessantly throughout the Krusty Krab, including over the loudspeaker, offending many of the Krusty Krab patrons (the sound the viewing audience hears is the vocalization of a dolphin). However, the two regret their utterings after Mr. Krabs informs them that the word is highly inappropriate, being number eleven in a list of thirteen bad words total. Later, SpongeBob loses a game called Eels and Escalators (spoof of Chutes and Ladders) to Patrick and says the word again. Patrick races to the Krusty Krab to tell Mr. Krabs, but SpongeBob tries to stop him. Patrick reminds SpongeBob of the word he used, actually saying it himself, so SpongeBob runs to tell on him. Mr. Krabs is outraged, and punishes both of them by having to paint the Krusty Krab. Before they start painting, Mr. Krabs trips, which hurts his foot, and says all 13 bad words. SpongeBob and Patrick, followed by Mr. Krabs, rush to Mama Krabs' house to tell on Mr. Krabs. When they get there, all three begin tattling on one another to Mama Krabs, saying the word and some new ones creating a constant stream of profanity. Mama Krabs, overwhelmed by the barrage of expletives, faints and falls to the ground. Mr. Krabs weeps while pulling money out of his mother's pocket. After regaining consciousness, Mama Krabs tells the group, "If you're going to talk like sailors, then you're going to work like sailors," and puts all three to work painting her house. While watching them paint Mama Krabs hurts herself, and as she begins yelling out in pain, an old-fashioned car horn sound is heard over part of her shouting. The three look at Mama Krabs in shock, thinking that she is using one of the swear words. However they all begin to laugh when they discover that a neighbor was honking the horn of his old jalopy, which happened to correspond exactly with her outburst.

Trivia
- Each curse word is censored by a ocean-related sound, including dolphin chirps, boat horns, seal barking and others.
- Squidward said "chubby buzzsaw baser" to Mr. Krabs while whispering gibberish.
- Plankton said bad word #11 in the Personal Computer version of The Battle for Bikini Bottom.
- Right before SpongeBob notices the curse word, if you read the graffiti on the dumpster, one of it says "Patchy was here", possibly referring to Patchy the pirate.
- Another piece of graffiti reads "starfish rool", implying a starfish wrote it, and they're all as dumb as Patrick.
- This is the only episode with words in the song during the title card showing.
- When Squidward says 'Don't you mean there are only 7?', this is in reference to comedian George Carlin's infamous routine 'Seven Words You Can't Say On Television'
