Can't say certain words

Here's a funny thing, I cannot say certain words, about the male and female body and 'intimate' things. I've always been uncomfortable about this and I usually just use a ladylike alternative. It can prove hilarious at times and more forthright friends have sometimes poked fun at me. It doesn't seem quite 'ladylike' to me!
So is it just me?
 

There are certain words I do not like, and it's not that I can't say them, it's I won't say them... I can swear quite well sometimes, but there are still some words I will not say... one starts with the letter C... I hate that word... Makes me sick when I hear youngsters or even younger women use it... But that is probably the biggest word I cannot handle...
 

The funniest is when you have grown up with a proper name for the private part and then what a shock when someone on TV as that name , you think what the heck ,why did the parents call that poor girl after a private part .

Names from a more innocent past I suppose. Even the word gay used to be perfectly without any meaning other than happy. Language changes over generations.

My sister told me that ever since her children (a boy and a girl) were young she taught them to use the correct terms for their body parts. There are still words I'm discovering that I can't get to come out of my mouth and they have nothing to do with body parts. 😂

I know, I find I blush. Does anyone else blush any more? We seem to live in a cruder world.

Well. In certain groups (like church) you'd say "Male parts" or "Female parts"

But it bars, it's more crude.
 
When I first heard the lead female character's name in Goldfinger was Pu**y Galore, it sent flashes through me. I was uncomfortable using her first name. Plus it was against the rules at home. Lately, I have no problem saying the word since the infamous "... just grab her by the pu**y" video that came out seven years ago.

I agree with Mike.. there's certain words I hate... and I just don't say them, but I can if I want to...

I think grown ups calling lady's private parts phrases like ''Lady Garden'' is a little bit childish tho'...

So is Willy & Fanny but they are commonplace in everyday parlance.
 
@Rose65, Nothing wrong with being a lady; tenderness,
gentleness, graciousness, softness. One should not
compromise the qualities of the soul they have attained to
"fit in" with the coarseness of society if it's not YOU.
How others choose to behave or speak is completely
fine with me. Not shocked or upset because I'm only
responsible for my own expressions.
I think it's lovely that you choose to be feminine.
 
I have the ability to say just abput anything. But choose not to. In fact…when I decided to pretty much swear off swearing it really just helped my overall life outlook. Other’s use of language that is meant to harm has little effect on me since I lost my innocence and faith in humankind rather rudely when I was 17. Call me whatever…who cares?
 
I had to make an appt with the gynecologist and when the nurse asked me why, I told her using the exact name. I thought she was going to choke. If a nurse can't hear the medical word, good luck getting medical help.

Thanks to the idea of usurping words to give them new meanings, earplugs for those who don't want to laugh at this video. It's worth watching even just for the variety of hair colors. Mollie Sugden as Mrs. Slocombe referring to her cat, Tiddles.
 
It is not that I can't say them, I just choose not to and generally don't when I am around other people. Most of my cussing is done when I am alone trying to fix something that just won't "fix" or do something that just won't "do".

I don't understand why Mrs. Slocombe's "p" word was such a constant thing on Are You Being Served. One time might be funny but over and over just became stupid and childish to me. Can't stand the "c" word either.
 
True story. A friend had two children. The daughter was about three and watching Mom change her little brother’s diaper. She inquired about the extra anatomy and was told..exactly..what it was. There was a long pause…then the little girl announced “well, I have a crotch”!!!
 
I use anatomically correct words unless I know it's too much for the delicate sensibilities of others. People are offended at the drop of a hat. 🎩:rolleyes:

"Hello, nurse. I'm having a problem with my lady parts." "I see, there are several 'parts', which is it, part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5...?" 🤔

If you can't handle Mrs. Slocombe's p:oops:ssy humor, then run away from "Mrs. Brown's Boys" as fast as you can. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️😆😅😂🤣 Otherwise, you'll pass out in no time.

I hate that word. When watching Are You Being Served, it embarrassed me as the canned laughter was hysterical. That was SO long ago and really very rude. They made such fun of women of 'a certain age' like Mrs Slokam and her cat.

That reminds me how embarrassing it always was when the whole family, including granny, would watch TV together and a 'rude scene' would come on. Like in a Bond film. You wouldn't know what to do!
