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

[pinkelephantsanddietcoke]

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

I once called someone a silly sod. My Mum said "do you know what that means?" and I said "yes - it's a lump of earth". She said "OK - so long as you keep believing that".

Pee. Belly. That I hated someone. Shut up. Any slang. So many.
My mum was ridiculously strict with what we were and weren't allowed to say.

I also had to say "pump" for fart.

I also wasn't allowed to say 50p because "peas" were little green vegetables and always had to say pence.

Bum, Belly

I'm in my mid 30s but I'm still not allowed to say Fart or Bum Infront of my Mum

Fart. Crap. And absolutely no blasphemy ever on pain of death!

Our childminder told my son not to say "knackered" (not sure what age he was - somewhere between 5 and 11 is all I can narrow it down to!)

Fart, bum, damn, God, prat, knob, etc. Still not allowed to say them at 37!

Oh yes, knackered and bloody.

Laughing so much reading these! Ours were pee (had to say weewee), fart (in favour of the excruciatingly twee ‘windybottom’) and I’m full or I’ve had enough (after a meal, we had to say, “I’ve had sufficient”) 🙄 Also as PPs have said, knackered was a complete no no, I said it once and it did NOT go down well...

I once said 'I wet myself laughing' and got majorly told off!

My parents were from a different city to the one I've been born and brought up in and my mum always hated when I used words that people here said. Eg describing nice food as 'fine' which everyone here does. I had to say 'good'. Made me feel a bit of a dick at school to be honest 😂

Crap
Oh my god
Shut up
Jezuss keroist!

I wasn't supposed to use the shortened version of my name, quite often Dad would answer the phone and say You've got a wrong number. After a few call backs I would remind him that it might be for me!

I dont think I ever heard my parents say anything worse than 'bloody', they were of a generation that didn't, many of the words on here I never heard until I was in Grammar School and never used before College.

Probably outing myself here but we were banned from using “Cantona” as an insult, which we started doing after he karate kicked a Palace fan.

I remember getting detention and lines in primary school for saying jesus on the yard at break time 🙄🙄🙄

I remember bugger and bloody being swear words, and all the others on an escalating scale. Even now I couldn’t risk using fuck, bastard or the c word in my mums earshot. Once as an adult I said ‘fucks sake’ and she grimly said I’d changed, like she’d caught me shooting up or something.

Oh my god wasn’t a great thing to say but less blasphemous than Jesus Christ.

Fart was rude - pump was better. No judgement on the word jobby. It still makes me laugh and as a Scot I love saying it.

As PP have said, my DM has not ever used a word for vagina. Ever. And she maintains that when describing bowel type trouble it is acceptable to use the term ‘back passage’ which to me sounds horrible!!

@ILE35 - me too....crying with laughter - and I have only had a couple of sips of wine yet!

I think it is because I relate so much!

OP - I also had to say pump - and, like you, no one else knew what I meant!

I wasn't allowed to say Oh My God, or Blimey.
I distinctly remember coming home from playing out, one evening, and announcing that I was knackered (no idea where I had heard it said) and I was told off SO much for just saying a word that I thought meant tired!!
I still struggle to say it and I am 51 and my mum died 23 years ago!!

These days we will always use the word Fart as my children are young adults now, but when they were children it was 'Pop', 'Trump. or 'Blow Off'.

@Reallybadidea - surely 'Shooting Bunnies' is 100 times worse than farting?!!

Fanny was an absolute obscenity in our house. Tuppence was the preferable term.
Oh, and boobs were buzzies.

Hate

"Liar" had to say "fibber" ?!

Oh we were not allowed to say anything slightly rude, fart, bugger, bloody, Oh my God, For God's sake, flaming hell were all forbidden. I do remember holding my breath when dsis told a joke in front of df and it had the word piss in. That she was around thirty, married with her own family didn't seem to register I was straight back to being a child.

@Lovesabadboy

You'd think so. Dsis and I flatly refused to use that phrase. An acceptable alternative was 'made a smell' I think that's worse too!

Fart.
Hell.
Anything Jesus related.
Bloody.
Bugger.

Any of the above were cardinal sins in our house.

Said Jesus Christ when I stood on Harry Potter Lego when I was about ten and my god the palava that ensued!

@Reallybadidea - Made a smell is marginally better!

Loving 'A piggy smell' by a PP!

My mum didn't like me using Hate, Shut Up or Stupid - it was 'don't like', 'Be quiet' or 'silly'.
I have been reading this thread to my 19 and 22 year old DDs and they reminded me that I was the same with them when they were little! I don't remember, but it must be true!

Bum
Bugger
Bloody
Damn
Sod off
Stupid
Fart
Trump
Oh my God
Shut yer face
CAC
O-ar (Sp? - means poo)

I also once said arse and I had to stand at the back door in my pyjamas for twenty minutes.

In hindsight, I wonder if it was because they were laughing and didn't want me to see.

Did not help my stutter as a child though!

Thanks, Dad!
