Plonker - tis ok
Idiot - No
Git -No
Arse- No
Bugger- No
Bloody-No
Knob- NO!
Prick- NO!!!

would you be happy?

What is wrong with twit?

No to all except perhaps twit or ploker as long as either was used n a friendly manner not a nasty one.

What's wrong with saying twit? That and plonker would be ok, but none of the others.

No to twat, knob and prick, all depends on the age of the child of course.

just sounds a little sharp for me
not very easily used in a friendly joking manner imo

plonker is completely fine and the others, apart from twit, are absolute no nos

plonker and twit not so bad

my kids are 9,4 and 2

Twat - NO
Twit - ok
Plonker - ok
Idiot - NO
Git - rather not but will overlook
Arse - no, but not as bad as idiot
Bugger - no, but not as bad as idiot
Bloody - no, would have a sharp word over this one
Knob - NO
Prick - NO

We say 'dimwit' or 'donut' for those types of things!

We do say plonker too but thinking about it we dont say twit.

Twit and Plonker used non-aggressively.
Idiot under extreme pressure from a sibling.
The rest, no.
Mine are 14 and 18.

Bloody is the only other one I've heard them use in the house, and it's not OK.

Twit and idiot are ok, if they're saying "you're being an idiot/twit" about some idiotic behaviour. The others I wouldn't want to hear from a child. But my DS is 15 now, so that's different - it's more like an adult swearing, so depends if I think it's areasonable response to the situation, same as if DH or I swore when angry about something.

I thought "plonker" meant the same as knob/dick - I'm surprised so many people aren;t bothered about it.

Twat - no
Twit - who still says this? Prince Charles?
Plonker - no
Idiot - they may hear this at home [mumble]
Git - no
Arse - erm, see Idiot [ahem]
Bugger - no
Bloody - erm, see Idiot and Arse
Knob - no
Prick - no

mine are nearly 5 and 7 and say Crap sometimes and are informed it is Rubbish and not Crap

I think though AMIS that I am thinking of the way DelBoy says 'You plonker Rodney' in a kind of funny way rather than 'you knob!' but didnt know it meant that!

plonker means

1 A fool

or

2 A Penis

We mean it as fool rather than a penis

Mine are 8 and 5. They might use the words 'idiot' and 'twit' about soemone, but I would come down hard of they used it to someone. Although I do call them 'foolish children' . Still...

I would be if they used any of the others, and mortified if they knew 'knob' or 'prick'.

I do say bugger in front of them though. And bollocks. They think some words, like wine and beer, and coffee, are for adults only...

ooh hello Oliveoil

how are you?

I am fine and dandy thanks, rainy here atm, where is my sunshine?

(are you a namechanger? can't keep up atm as I am rarely here)

By the way. Are you all coming to my party laer? I have cake. and wine.

You probably wont know me but I followed your thread about your move

I was Collision and Majeika for a while and might go back to Collision.

I do know you (as collison)

I am a mouldie but don't go on the internet much at all at the moment tbh so I find popping on here easier as mouldies is a bit more intense and every knows everyone etc so you can't just bob on every month and say "ooooh ffs" or whatever (as I am apt to) as you may meander into an indepth discussion that you do not know the background to (but I do love all the mouldies and hate the fighting )

anyhoo

so I find it better to bob on here when dh it out (rare) and waffle on for an hour

then leave for a month

I actually have Real Life now

facebook, MN, hotmail and booking my 40th, that is the limit of my internet atm

and long may it last

xx

(sorry for hijack)

yes

but she is only 2
