Clarifying Rules for a new Munchkin

Greetings all

I've recently fallen in love with this game and want to learn to play it correct and find as I play questions about what we can and can't do and when are constantly coming up and while as the game owner I want to just forge ahead and say that "this is the rule" as I'm the only one who has actually read the rules, it occurs to me that one day a friend may actually read the rules for themselves and would in return go all munchkin on me and backstab. So I want to stab first....

1) How can cards become carried? Can I place them there from my hand as part of discard? Can I place treasure cards that I recieve as carried?
2) If I have 5 cards in my hand, and I help someone for 1 or more treasures, which would give me 6, do I have to discard even though it's not my turn? Can those treasure cards be played right away?
3) If I have to give away one of my items for whatever reason, or lose an item, and said item is cursed, can I dispose/give that card away, and does the curse follow?
4) Can a Race/Class card be carried or must it remain in my hand? As you can see, I don't fully understand the whole 'carry' cards part of the game. I get the principle of it, you're carrying them and they aren't active, but I just don't get how the get there.
5) can I change my Race/Class out at any time?
6) If I get a treasure card that's a level up but it's not my turn, can it be played right away? Ditto for items?
7) Is name calling allowed and/or enforced?
8) What are some good names and/or enforcements for said names?

Well, I really hope that I remembered all the questions....I wrote them down, but forgot them at home....

Thanks!
