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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MF6bLIWJiY |

Liar and Shut Up were not allowed in our house.
I was once told off by a shopkeeper for saying Damn. |

Coming from a long line of potty mouths, my parents never told me off for swearing at home. However, I was told in no uncertain terms never to swear at school, at grandma's, or in front of Auntie Eileen.
I somehow got the impression that only the F and C words counted as swearing though, and got told off for saying "bollocks" at school and "bastard" in front of Auntie Eileen. |

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.
The innocent joys of Yahweh. When I was nine I found out I had to wear glasses; I was wracked with Catholic guilt because I'd said 'blimey' so much. |

When I was a young boy my mother was clearing the table and she asked why I’d not eaten all her freshly prepared ‘chips’;…to which I replied (without thinking)… “coz they’re soggy as fὓck! ”
My (very strait-laced) mothers response was simply “there’s no need for that ”; ….to this day I’ve no idea if she was more upset about my language,.. or my criticism of her culinary skills.

I had a friend who always used to say the tw followed by a word, even when we were only about 9 or 10, he was a total gobshite from a young age to be honest
Anyway, for some reason (probably because I was only 10), I thought it was just a variation of 'twit', so used to go around saying it a lot, until my mum heard me and went ballistic at it

![]() to admit this, but I didn't know how rude it was until I was in my 40s. I'd been using the word in all sorts of inappropriate circumstances by then.

I got mildly told off by my parents for saying "crap" as a little girl and once when I saw a film on TV about the Beatles and someone said "arse" I said it was a good film and my Dad told me off for liking swearing and turned it over! Now my whole family swears no holds barred, the "F" word, the lot.

I said "bloody" once in front of my sister and when she threatened to tell my mum I begged her not to and actually cried when I thought she would!
I also distinctly remember calling my dad a "chauvinistic pig" after I'd heard someone say it in Neighbours. I had absolutely no idea what it meant, but that didn't stop me getting a slap. |

A teacher once overheard a conversation I was having with my friends at school where I said "That sucks" - I got called up on that. This was when I was 15.

I would have got the belt if I talked like that to my parents.

Bloody, my mother said it was a contraction of 'By Our Lady'.
I once got a right shouting at for saying 'the same to you with brass knobs on' to my sister after she'd said something nasty to me. She wan't told off at all - I still don't understand why it was so bad what I said

Ha - I had the exact same thing happen to me. The sadistic nuns who ran the place also said that "crikey" meant "Christ kill me" (blimey & crikey were quite popular at my primary school).
When I was nine I found out I had to wear glasses; I was wracked with Catholic guilt because I'd said 'blimey' so much. But yes that was another beautiful thing to teach to classes of very young and impressionable children.

Not me, but a classmate got told off for saying "freaking"
It's a shame, because the girls would usually use the more offensive word. I would have praised her for using "freaking" instead.
