My 20mo ds3 has a few words, most of them unintelligible. Mamma, dad, jees (juice), cake (!?), hank ooo (thank you, obviously) are the ones that we recognise most, although sometimes he'll throw us a curve ball (ice cream!) from nowhere, say it a few times, then never again.
Today, however, has been the learning curve from hell!! Firstly while watching Dora, when she says backpack, I repeated it to him, to which he replied 'pk'. No, ds3, it's backpack! He just kept repeating and repeating the wrong word. I tried bag, rucksack, just to get him to break the sound but nope. Ds1 walks into the room ready for school with his bag on his shoulder and ds3 points at him and shouts out 'pk'! 
Short time later, ds3 toddles through from the kitchen with a box of crackers in his hand and loudly shouts 'fuckers!' He's been repeating that one on and off all day now too!
So wibu to not leave the house for an undetermined period of time for fear that my one year old will disgrace me and make me look like World's Worst Mum!? (It goes without saying that he has heard neither of these words in this house, or anywhere else for that matter!)
AIBU?
to not leave the house for at least a month owing to my one year old's horrific vocabulary malfunctions??

DD said "fuck you" for "thank you" for a while. Never had any reaction other than laughter, it was so clear what she was trying to say.
Oh, I've been embarrassed a few times (ds1 shrunk away from me and shouted 'please don't hurt me mummy' when I was giving him in trouble in the supermarket), but having my children scream racial slurs at anyone carrying a rucksack is just a step too far! 
It's an awful phase 
DD1 was the worst - the first time she heard the bippety boppety boo song she managed to mangle it into 'bollocky bollocky boo'. That was fun, a little blonde haired angelic looking girl skipping through the park singing that!
The vagina conversation (same park) with a slightly older DS was also a high point.
It's a parenting rite of passage..
I agree with acrossthepond although mine managed to embarass me on my own back garden by saying the N word 
which she had picked up from her racist misogynistic homophobic paternal Grandad. I swear steam was coming out of my ears when I asked her where she'd heard that word.
My adorable four year old granddaughter still keeps telling everyone that 'grandmamma didn't REALLY mean to burn me the other day ...' (after a malfunction when I was showing her how to use sealing wax 
)
Don't worry - as said upthread, it's a rite of passage!
My DD is 2 and a few times we've been out shopping and she's smelt a bad smell and shouts very loud phewwww that man stink mummy
When dd was this age she like itng, only she couldn't say makka pakka, she said 'manky paki' the absolute worst part of this was we were in our local corner sho run by a lovely older man from Pakistan. She was shouting it at the top of her voice, and pointing at the magazine, I just wanted to die.
We were at a toddler group and another little boy kept pushing my DD and his mother never once told him off. He then pushed her quite hard and she was hurt so we had a little cuddle and she kept telling me naughty boy and then decided to follow the little boy around shouting naughty boy naughty boy the other mother didn't look happy but never once told him it was naughty to push other children
My 2yo is currently obsessed with fart face and fart you which of course sounds like fuck face and fuck you. or his other favourite is poo poo fart/fuck face.
He obviously thinks it's funny we try not to react but it's hard
