What words are banned in your house?

Question

In our house we do not use the following words:

Shut-up

Idiot

Stupid

Dumb

Go Away

and of course... no swear words.

I heard a mother tell her child to shut up today while out shopping and I just wondered how many parents use these types of words?

What other words are banned in people's houses?

Answer 1

all swear words, and as above, but also 'fat' and 'ugly'. i was called fat during my youth by brother, and i still have a distorted body image.

Answer 2

same list for us but also jerk and sucker or "that sucks" and "what the.." (in the last one they leave out the swear word but it just sounds bad)   My adult children don't swear around me or in,our house when they come to visit. Its a matter of respect.

Answer 3

My parents always said "It takes a 'dumb' or 'stupid' person to call another those words."



Then i stopped using those words for fear of being dumb or stupid myself.

Answer 4

Answer 5

growing up I was not aloud to tell my father to drop dead. funny, I could say any other word under the sun but that..
