Words that should be a criminal offence to use Page 7

It's very hard to not to swear in front of your children sometimes - unless you banish them from your company all the time. They're going to hear these words at some point, so IMO, no harm them hearing them and understanding their usage. But swearing at children, I can't abide.

I mean mothers just walking down the street and casually saying "stop dropping that f**king bag, Jayden". Clearly is just how they talk to them daily.
Or when the parents are talking to their friends with their kids standing right there, and it's f**king this, f**king that. Horrible.

Obviously, it's fine to swear if you hurt yourself or something in front of them.

More evidence that some stratas of society should be sterilised.

I know, I know. I'm with you. I was somewhat joking.

Reprogramme your Brain

Instead of saying F*ck, C*nt or any teir 1 profanity replace with a farmyard animal, not necessarily a pig, followed by -ing when required.
teir 2 profanity could be replaced with "blast" or "blow"
I'm sure there must be some BBC guidelines somewhere.
How about we try replacing profanity with some bloody vocabulary, for a change?

Aah my local KFC is a delight. Full of mums and dads coming in with immaculate 5 year old kids, with neat hair.

They stand them by the counter then it's

"Don't sell me the f''king old chicken you p###i c**t, don't rip me of you c##t."

"Where's the f'''ing manager does he know his staff are thieving p@@i c**ts, oh he's a theiving p@@i bastard."

"You're selling me the f%%%ing burnt chicken cos I'm f"""ing black you racist p%%i c%%t."

At some point some they will usually try and jump the counter.

I hope that's an extremely exaggerated exaggeration.

No it's actually rather fun.

And reminesent of scenes in Uganda in the 70s.

Yikes!
Where do you live, again?

Archway.

C'mon am I the only person to witness a punch up in a KFC. The heady mixture of fried chicken, late opening and racial tension makes them the Toxteth/Watts of takeaways.

Nandos now that's always civilised.

Can't say that I've ever witnessed any racial tension at a fast food joint around here. It's Mexicans, African-Americans and whites serving and being served by each other. Everyone's polite and smiling.

So you're okay with everybody swearing like dockers all the time, what about using racially offensive words like n****r and p***i? I assume they're also okay providing we chose not to be offended by them.

Utterly Brava!!

People saying "could of" rather than "could have" drives me mental. "Could of" doesn't make sense, you idiots!!!!

Also the misuse of 'literally'. Jamie Redknapp, I'm looking at you. Alexandra Burke was on that 50 Greatest Videos on Channel 4 saying how the Thriller video "literally" scared her.

Oh yes! Definitely!

Also, a new word that makes me wince every time I hear it: ringfenced.
Said bloody 10 times a minute on the news at the moment.

Saying it is ok, as it's just the words "could" and "have" slurred together. But if someone writes it out it makes me want to slap them.

What's a ringfence?

It means um... money that has been put aside especially for something?
I think.
Currently over-used due to the budget/new party in power/bleh.
