What words were banned in your household growing up?

[TazzyDrunk]

If anything

Heard most families had banned word list ,what was on yours growing up?

And all swear words.

Toerag

The biggest bollocking I ever got was when I sang the unacceptable version of 'Eeny Meeny Miney Mo', unaware of what the word meant.

Bumboclaat - a Jamaican word for motherfucker/dickhead or something similar

And also ‘starving’ - we were actually only allowed to be very hungry! I still correct my dc now if they ever say they’re starving (very rare - it must have stuck).

The word “muddy” was explicitly banned once, because my dad was fed up with moans about it on a country walk.

The words my parents banned are all ones I’d still take issue if my own children said them - terms like ‘spastic’ or racist / homophobic terms.

Fart and shut up for us

It’s funny isn’t it! Bum, fart crap, bloody hell and the contents of ITV horrified my mother, but THAT version of enie, meanie, minie mo was the one she taught me.

Fart
I was telling DH a few days ago that it was banned and he said that was really weird and nobody else was banned from saying it.
Glad to see he was wrong according to a few posts on here

Farts had to be referred to as “bumps” in my childhood home, and pooh as “twos”

All the swear words, and then shut up and stupid. My mum told me never to use those words when talking to or about people as it was unkind. I still don't use them really, although plenty of swear words have joined my vocabulary now!

Protestant.

Bonkers thing of my mum's, it made it hard work if she wanted to see my history homework when we were studying the Tudors.

Fart - we had to say pump
Knackered - we had to say tired

We weren't allowed to say we hated each other or were starving either. I'm the same with my dc with the hate/starving thing.

Despite us not being able to say so much as Fart my mother swore like a navvy!

Oh my God! Fart (we said raspberry!). Mum(has to use Mummy. As a teen I just stopped calling her anything at all out loud, still find it awkward to call her mum now except in written form). Blimey. (Bloody) hell.
All swear words. Once I said “oh fudge!” thinking it was a cute alternative to rude words. Mum was furious, too close to fuck apparently. Then “sugar!” Nope, just as bad as shit.

Hate - and I still don't use it about anyone.
Shut up.
