Friend has got the hump because DD (11) spelt out the word vagina during a scrabble game with her 7 year old DS

What's wrong with that? AIBU to find it deeply unshocking. I'm more perturbed by the fact that she probably cheated and rummaged through the bag for a v or a g to come up with that. Surely a 7 year old knows what a vag is? At least its factual and she spelt it correctly.

I would understand my friend's attitude if DD had put twat or fanny.

How many points? If I was your friend, I'd be well impressed Grin

pictish · 14/05/2012 09:46

There's nothing wrong with it. Your friend is a very silly woman.

Flisspaps · 14/05/2012 09:46

Nothing wrong at all. Tell your friend she's being a penis.

Olympia2012 · 14/05/2012 09:46

Just laugh it off!! She sounds a bit precious

WorraLiberty · 14/05/2012 09:48

Could've been worse

My highest ever score on Facebook Scrabble was because I spelt Blowjob across the top left and got the triple word score.

I didn't even know it was a real word Shock

Shakey1500 · 14/05/2012 09:49

I'm impressed! Nothing wrong with it at all. What's your friend going to do, hide all the dictionarys in the world?

I remember playing scrabble with my mum when I was a teenager. She came up with "Wankers" on a bloody triple word score Grin

ChaosTrulyReigns · 14/05/2012 09:50

Nothing wrong with it at all sandyballs.

What did she actually say? I need a good snurkle.

FriendofDorothy · 14/05/2012 09:51

I would be proud. Should be a reasonable score!

UnChartered · 14/05/2012 09:52

well done your DD!

sandyballs · 14/05/2012 09:53

Grin at wankers and blowjob.

She said it was unsuitable and DD should make allowances for the fact that she is a lot older than her DS and behave accordingly.

Not sure what the score was!

She is being vvvu. At least it was a proper word!

sunnydelight · 14/05/2012 10:01

I'd find it strange that an 11yo girl would think it an appropriate word when playing with a 7yo boy - I clearly know too many social workers!!!

ChaosTrulyReigns · 14/05/2012 10:03

What do you mean sunnydelight?

Confused
sandyballs · 14/05/2012 10:05
Hmm

Do they play with an special age appropriate edited dictionary then?

UnChartered · 14/05/2012 10:05

i don't know any social workers who would raise the alarm bells at using the word 'vagina'

pictish · 14/05/2012 10:05

Um...what? Confused

LentillyFart · 14/05/2012 10:06

If you've got a J, Z, I and blank you can do very well with JIZZ Grin and it doesn't even mean what I thought it meant!

twilight3 · 14/05/2012 10:06

I've always used the words vagina and penis with my children to describe their genitals, I do not find it any more offensive than the word head or leg, only it gets a much higher score in scrabble Grin
your friend needs to get a grip!

Lovelynewboots · 14/05/2012 10:07

Your daughter is clearly a genius. Grin Don't think my kids could even begin to know how to spell vagina. Its quite a tricky word phonetically.

Charleymouse · 14/05/2012 10:08

I once got a great score with quim! At the time I did not know the meaning just had heard the word, everyone was shocked and thought it was hysterical.

twilight3 · 14/05/2012 10:08

re social workers, I say vagina and penis to my 4 and 5 yr old foster children, and the SS still allow me to Foster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WaitingForMe · 14/05/2012 10:10

DSS1 is 7 and the word vagina is used in the book we're bought him to answer any questions he might have about my pregnancy. It's part of the human anatomy, it's not rude or naughty.

UnChartered · 14/05/2012 10:10

twilight you should be using words like 'flower' and 'doo-doo' - don't want the poor kids fucked up do we Grin
