"two"

All of the standard fanfare was off limits (piss, shit, fuck, bitch, damn, etc). I think we were allowed to say suck, but even that risked going over the line. Dump and crap were allowed, considering that our old man was the one who taught them to us. Shut up was generally allowed, as long as you didn't say them to the parents. We were not allowed to watch Simpsons or Ren and Stimpy, and if we were watching any tv show with even a hint of sex our mom would give us the Spanish Inquisition over what we were watching.

My mom had the same rule even though my grandma once spanked her for saying it and it pissed her off at the time. I should've pushed back harder.

I used to say "twat shot" for a kick in the groin cause it rhymed and I didn't know what it meant.

When I was very young, I would repeat words without really knowing what they meant.
I once said "turd" and my mom had to explain what that was. Another time, a friend and I were playing "air basketball" (no ball, just pretend,) and whenever the imaginary ball went through the imaginary hoop, we'd yell "dooooosh!" (douche) like that was sound of the net. My mom told us not to say it, but wouldn't explain what it meant... lol

You kinda sound like you were a hellion child. OH and my mom used to get mad when I called someone a liar but I still have no idea why she did.

My mom wouldn't let me say "suck," and she would also get upset when I knew all the words to "Last Dance with Mary Jane" as a young child but quickly realized I had no clue wtf Mary Jane even was... I thought it was a girl for the longest time.

Hmmm TWW didn't take my last post, but the short version is I don't know why I couldn't say someone was lying. I guess it's too "strong" a statement.

that is crazy NRR...I was telling this to ken right before he posted this thread. My grandmother would sigh like a mother fucker if we did that. Don't disappoint grandma, now. She also did not let us say we had belly aches. She said, "Cows have bellies."
