Swearing on TV, a user's guide

Paul Bernays's picture

Relating to Tony Fry's earlier post, below is a 'handier than you'd think' list of terms (some were new to me I must say) and survey responses.

Just right to get the weekend going with a ____, ______ or even a _______ _____ (know what I mean, nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, nudge nudge, etc).

What a pathetic list

Bugger is the least offensive British term for having sex according to the quoted book, so I seriously think most people give a seconds thought to what it actually means, or any of the others I'd wager too.

People really need to get more inventive with their swears too, the same old thing just doesn't quite do it for me as much as something with a little clever spin.

Sexual healing

When in training, we had a day of becoming familiar with sexual problems commonly seen in various clinics. To break the ice and taboos, the facilitator of the day, a marvellously posh elder man*, asked all for as many names for the various bits and bobs that people present at such clinics might use. I was very proud that my expensive private education had left me with the widest vocabulary in the room. As such, I agree with Bucklberry's jibe as to the feeble list printed.
*Quite unusual, as it is usually the domain of elderly blue rinsed ladies to be asking clients as to whether they experienced any stinging during rimming, or whether fisting caused any leakage problems afterward. Most disconcerting, and thats from the "safe" side of the desk.

It's not on paper.

Just a question of pulling together all the words ever heard of to denote all the rude things we do with the rude bits of our body. Done with far greater attention to detail in Roger Melly's Profanisaurus, a book from Viz, that made me laugh so much I had to buy it for my son. Twice, as the revised and much fatter 2nd edition needed checking out too.

Reading the list, one wonders...

what British Asian females could possibly have left to talk about.

MFSB

One publication referred to this as Mother Father Sister Brother but I didn't think so, although it did involve some family ties.
