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

[pinkelephantsanddietcoke]

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

Fart for us was "fluff". Pee was #1 and poo was #2.

I wasn't banned from saying any words.

However, I saw a film from the war years where a young lad is berated for saying the word "lousy" !

I think it was thought "not a nice word" and was associated with people who actually had lice. Probably middle class angst!

Yes, “knackered” was always a funny one because to some people it means worn out from too much shagging. Also “prat” “bum” “willy” “fart”. More unusually “sick” and “liar”, which meant “liar liar pants on fire” was replaced by my mum with the more acceptable “fibber, fibber pants are in the river” interesting mum had no problem with the word. “pants”

Just to add, we had to call our farts 'blow offs' or 'trumps', and we weren't allowed to talk about poo (probably because my sisters and I used to talk about poo ALOT when we were kids). So when we needed a poo we would say that we were going for a 'big job' 😂

Oh and I just remembered "jobs" and doing a "jobbies" for a #2.

Oh yes! I remember big jobs!

If we needed a poo we had to say we needed 'nums ' wtf? That was a totally made up term that my brothers and cousins had to agree with

I guessed you were Scottish when you mentioned pump, I too grew up with pumps and jobbies!

Also not allowed to say bum (it was a bottom) or fanny (front bottom).

As an adult I love the word Jobby. Up here in Scotland it’s the funniest word ever that and Fud!

We weren’t allowed to say bloody or crap but they got relaxed. I still say ‘pump’ for fart just because it’s hilarious ‘DH have you pumped?’ Snigger!

This thread is bringing out the inner 8 year old in me. I'm actually crying with laughter at some of these comments 😂

Snot.

I asked what word I was supposed to use for it, and got nothing but silence

Pumps and jobbies 😳👍🏼🙈🤣

Whatever - in that moody teenager way
Knackered
Sugar

Oh lord I'm just in from the ship and shooting bunnies has me in hysterics can't stop laughing so funny never heard a fart called that before live and learn don't I

Gawd blimey was considered terrible for us. We were told we were actually asking God to blind us.

My mum was always very prim and proper when we were little (she still is now) and she would never ever swear. Then one day something went wrong and she yelled out "oh sod". It was literally the most shocking thing we had ever heard her say. My sisters and I all stood there open mouthed in shock that mummy had said a naughty word. She later apologised profusely to us for her awful language and made us all promise that we'd never use the word 'sod'.

We weren’t allowed to tell people to ‘shut up’. I thought ‘shutup’ was an actual swear word when I was little. Also ‘knackered’, ‘blimey’ and any words perceived to be blasphemous.

I'll still get a raised eyebrow for "bloody" or "Hell".

Crap was fine for some reason...

We weren't allowed to say liar. It was fibber.

Pregnant! Women were 'expecting'!

Bloody, fart, crap, pee, knackered, cream crackered (instead of saying knackered), penis, willy, belly. Oh I could go on and on 🙄

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"

Sorry, another immature person here but I am shaking with uncontrollable laughter, trying not to wake up sleeping dh, reading that.

Oh so many. The worst one was if we were going for a poo it was a 'loady'. Got ripped to shreds for that in school.

To clarify, poo was not allowed!

a loady?!
Where did they get these words?
