To ask what 'rude words' you weren't allowed to say as a child?

[pinkelephantsanddietcoke]

Mine was 'Pee' or 'Poo'. Ridiculously unacceptable!

Flipping. Bum. Fart. Blooming. Blimey.
We had a strict mum.

Fart seems to be downgraded from a completely unacceptable word to one that's commonplace.

Although maybe for other families fart was acceptable back in the 80s

Also was forbidden to say fart!!!! Had to say pump! No one else knew what I was talking about!!!!!

Came on to say FART also piss or bum.

Pump! I've not heard that in years. The word, not the thing, with dc I hear pumps way too much.

I'm embarrassed to say, but we had a word for pop...... we all used it, my cousins aunties etc!!!!!

Fart. I still consider it to be rude.

We were also NEVER allowed to say oh my god. I’ve kept this up with my children and absolutely wince when I hear children say it.

"knackered" for some reason

We always said trump.

Pump is hilarious.

Bloody!!! I’m still not allowed to say it in front of my mum.

Not as bad as saying “for Gods sake”. My mum said she’d rather hear me say for Fucks sake than blaspheme

Oh yes, knackered! Because of horses, apparently.

You were not allowed to say 'oh my god' or 'knackered '?
My mum disapproved of both!!! She was quite a trendy, cool mum too!

Well, we did say them but we’d be told “don’t say that”.

Fart, however, was a real swear word!

I still think there are words (like fart) that sound awful coming from children.

My mum used to make us say "shooting bunnies" instead of farting. Wtf?

We weren't allowed to say crap, fart, knackered, oh my god, bum, or anything else that could be considered even slightly profane. Mum used to cover the TV with a tea towel if there were any 'adult' scenes. I still feel uncomfortable and squirmy during sex scenes on tv/cinema

We called a fart a blow off.
I bloody love that and still say it.
We weren't allowed to keep saying it though.

We weren't allowed to swear or say oh my god ( non religious parents )

Omg!! Don't know if it is the wine hitting or my immature sense of humour but this thread has me crying with laughter.

As a child I was never allowed to say "oh my god" and "fart" was another no-no, heaven forbid i let one slip! 😂 Also for poop, coming from Scotland a good word is "Jobby" but I'd have been skelped for saying it and my mum had a weird word for it. It was called a "popsy" and if I was ever out anywhere and said "mum I need the toilet" she would reply "do you need a pee-pee or a popsy" and I'd have to let her know 😂🙈 what has it got to do with anyone if I was able to wipe my own arse lol?! I also wasnt allowed to say the word "bogey" lol 😂🙈

Good grief.

I wasnt allowed to say a whole panoply of words. Totally, totally uptight.

I had a boyfiend who could not bring himself to say shit and had to say poop or poo instead. My libido shrivelled then and there ...

Bum,
Belly

Fart was absolutely fine although not in DH's family. He reacts to one of the kids saying fart as if they said fuck or cunt.
Yet he was allowed to say bugger and shite which were/are absolutely not acceptable for me.

Another vote for pump instead of fart. (also bum, willy and poos were banned, at least talking about them was)

One of my childs first proper words was 'bum' and I thought it was hilarious, how times have changed...

I'm another one who wasn't allowed to use the word 'fart', and my mum still hates it now. My dd loves that Pants book and it says 'farty pants' in it. My mum was outraged when she read it to my dd.

I also wasn't allowed to say 'oh my God' as a child either, which I thought was ridiculous at the time but is now something that I actively try to discourage my dd from saying as I don't like the way it sounds coming from a child's mouth.

ILE35! I'm also Scottish!

Windy (never 'fart')

I'm stone cold sober and I'm already invested heavily in this thread.

My great grandad had only one arm as his other was "blown off" in the war, and I remember getting a smack for sniggering about it being "blown off"
