    this is the end of the world

    My entire school had a banned words list they put on a board near the main door.

    I remember walking in past the board one morning only to get pulled back by a friend, he didn't say anything just stood pointing at the board....They added 'Milf' to the list of banned words.

    Not allowing Miku Miku Beams is reasonable tbh. Firing one of those off can level cities.

    This must be out of date, there's no big back or turning Ohio or anything. Not even a "ACkShuLly it's GNU...."

    [–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    My kid and his friends didn't make up big back?? This list is old? Fuck. I'm at that point... I know nothing.

    The concept of "banned words" (other than the offensive stuff, of course) in a classroom is so funny to me. There is no way that the person who came up with that wasn't the sourest loser ever.

    [–] JustTesting@lemmy.hogru.ch 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

    Plus kids will find a way. Our english teacher didn't want us to say 'shit', but to use 'sugar' instead.

    There was a lot of 'bullsugar' and similar in that class.

    [–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

    I remember that the vice principal of our Christian high school was annoyed with us saying 'gosh darn', and made the mistake of telling us, "If you're going to say 'gosh darn', you might as well say 'god damn', because that's what you really mean, and the Lort knows your heart."

    ... We all just started flat-out saying 'god damn' like we were told.

    Try teaching middle school. You’ll understand. That being said, teachers mostly do this as a joke.

    [–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

    I'm a school bus driver and we're supposed to not allow foul language. It's only a problem on the middle school runs, and it's not really worth the effort on my part to do anything about it. I'm just happy when I can unload all the kids and nothing has been set on fire.

    I always assumed (hoped) these were put up as jokes by the teachers. "Dang it Jeremy that's another one for the board!" type of banter.

    It says words, not phrases. So you're not allowed to use "I," "use," "by," "the," "way," or "and."

    "N-words" plural? I can imagine edgy students going out of their way to avoid all words starting with that letter as a result of that rule, just to be difficult.

    The sign itself lacks words starting with that letter other than the rule which bans it, and the separate quoting of one word that has one in it somewhere suggests they're allowed as long as they're unspecified on the list (otherwise that entry would have been omitted), so it's entirely possible to misinterpret.

    On the other hand, avoiding all words starting with that letter seems like a fun idea, but will people even be able to tell? And it's surprisingly hard to express some concepts without it.

    [–] lime@feddit.nu 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

    i see what you're up to here. you've created your whole post without words that start with that particular letter. i do disagree that it's hard to express yourself without it however; it's perfectly possible, i'd say simple, actually, to completely erase the letter from your vocabulary. i'm able to get by perfectly well without a sole use of it, all with perfect legibility. yes, i'd go as far as to say that it's probably close to the bottom of the list of letters ~~when~~ if ordered by value. get rid of it, i say. to optimize the alphabet is to get our speech closer to the speed of thought. after that, we ~~can~~ will start to chip at the big boys; your time has come, S!
