Idiot was one my grandma always told me off for saying. A few days ago I asked this question on Yahoo and got a few good ones from people in USA such as fiddlesticks. The would be good to see what milder swear words people on here got into trouble using.

In Catholic Primary School old Mrs Fugle often told us all that to say 'blimey' (which I did quite often) was personally asking for God to strike blind forever whoever said it.

I got told off for calling my Grandad a "liar" when I was about 10 years old.

We had a French exchange kid called Jean Pierre when I was about 10. We told him that Blinking Heck was the most terrible thing he could say and of course he said it all the time 😃

I incorporated the word bell end into a story when I was younger, thinking it meant silly. Needless to say it didn't go down too well.

As a teenager I once got reprimanded by a mate's mum for saying I was knackered when I was tired. Can only reason that she thought it was some reference to knackers, slang for testicles rather than a reference to a knacker's yard where tired worn out old animals were put out of their misery.

Then there was a time I didn't even say a mild swear word but I was misheard as saying one. Got a dumper truck made by "Buddy L" , an American toy manufacturer for Christmas one year. Said that out loud and my mum misheard it as a 5 or 6 year-old me exclaiming "bloody hell!". It was quite funny when I showed her what I really said and why.

When I was a bit of a nine year old rebel I happily told my parents at the dinner table that I had called someone a big c***!

I had no idea at the time it was even swearing (and I swore a lot).

I was once sent home from school, with the phone call to the parents etc because I called another kid a "stupid git" in ear shot of my maths teacher.

I didn't then, and still don't consider such a phrase anywhere close to swearing.

My parents thought the teacher overreacted and so did I.

And thanks to the actions of that teacher, so began my learned contempt and lack of respect for authority.

My Mum told me off for using 'knackered' when I was 6 or 7. She says she doesn't remember tho'.
The sexual reference probably does originate from the knackers yard, i.e. the horses are worn out and depending where you come from it was used as slang for being 'spent' to put it politely! Doesn't seem to get used in a sexual way anywhere these days tho'.

I was reading a comic as a small child and I said aloud "And Mickey the Monkey is playing with his balls" and my Mum slapped me on the head and said "That's enough of that".

My Dad came to walk me home from infant school one day and I told him a boy had said a bad word. He said "What was it? You can tell me."
I told him.
He then asked "Did he say any others?"
He hadn't but by the time we got home I'd told my Dad every swear word I knew 😜

When I was at school, after completing a PE lesson, a friend of mine happened to say she was knackered and then a second later the teacher told her off for swearing

Is knackered even a swear word?

There was a woman in my office who used to go mental whenever anybody said bitch.

I've got told off for using the 'C' word, not because it is a bad swear word but apparently because it is sexist.

The other word I've got told off for is 'Bugger', which I normally use when something goes wrong.

Not a very nice thing to say to another kid! But perhaps a reprimand from the teacher would have been enough.

A friend's mum wouldn't let her say words like "idiot" or "stupid". I think she was allowed to say "silly billy".

As a child my mother would berate us if we said belly or burp.

My atheist excuse for a mother had another one of her turns when I said Christ. Apparently, in her lord-less head I was taking the lord's name in vain. Consequently I thoroughly enjoyed trying to work it into every sentence.

There are always tantrums on DS when individuals, who haven't been truthful in response to queries in the advice forums, are referred to as a "liar".

My favourite swear word is "fud" - which is a vulgar Scottish slang term for female genitalia and is equally as crude as the "c" word in England.

It's never censored either!
