To be a bit concerned at CBBC using an obvious swearing inference?

Just had to sit here and watch Ds (4) watching a dire programme on BBC1, called 'Stupid'...it's not so much it's a load of rubbish, and to be fair he did enjoy it (or so he said ) but the main character is called (wait for it)

King stupid.

Maybe it's just me but that immediately sounds like an abbreviation of a well known phrase, one which I'd rather Ds didn't repeat in all innocence at preschool...

I am imagining him calling one of the other kids the name, or one of the teachers...as in 'You are so & so and I am so & so' type role play.

(I had to watch it as I'm 40wks+2, look like a whale and cannot move )

Because you were being a bit slow on the uptake, tbh.

Grown-ups would realise when the 4yo repeated the phrase. And that would not be nice.

Just don't want to be told off about him using such a phrase in public, but maybe it's not that commonly recognised...

lol at me being so dull today

jofeb04 · 11/06/2007 16:54

if I didn't realise, why would a 4year old?

As in 'king ell' as used fairly often on MN!

WHAT'S THE PHASE? opps, kept caplocks on, sorry.

oh, I loathe 'Stupid'. Dd1 is innocent enough to think that stupid is a nasty swearword, and this really undermines it... she loves the bloody programme, too
