Someone I know nicknamed her baby “boobah” as in a doll. She then shortened it to “boobie” and used that name for a few weeks. I guess until someone told her something. (I didn’t have a close enough relationship with her to bring up a conversation about it)

(I say that sometimes in the quit of my house to my baby who LOVES my boobies...... LOL

Very different than saying it out loud in public!

The Simcha and that combo brings a very funny definition to mind....

that actually reminds me also when I was younger we got a huge sticker pad for crafts and one page had the cutest stickers (in my eyes) it was all red and pink and hearts and lovey stuff with a few lovely phrases like "s3xy sweet" or "relations panther" which I then put all over my project.

I remember my mother coming over and being like UMMM. she told me its not a very nice expression and she took away all bad stickers

We were driving through NYC, and my sister was saying out loud every word she saw out of her window. In her long monologue, which no one was paying attention to, she said B!tch 1…B!tch 2…
(There were tee shirts hanging by one of these souvenir shops in the theme of Dr Seuss’s Thing 1 and Thing 2.)

I can’t remember my parents reaction though.

I was about 9 and used the word s-x in boggle. My mother was horrified she asked where I know that from it was from reading a form to tick which s-x you are. She said never use it again and like the good kid I was I never questioned her.

Yeah that confused me greatly too. Also why gay was banned. I read it in the secret garden and wanted to use it and show off my great vocab skills.

We had to prepare from Kitzur Shulchan Aruch for homework about the five restrictions of Yom Kippur - achila, shesiya, neilas hasandal, no bathing, no smearing. We went over it in school, and I called out clueless, "And tashmish hamitta!" My teacher ignored me.

I was convinced for years that you are not allowed to make your beds on YK and TB ... LOL

In 4th grade I used the word "crappy" to rhyme with "happy" for a school project. I thought it was brilliant, my teacher was quite horrified. I had heard it around my house- like if my parents were discussing their days

I was taught in English class it's called a bottle opener in British English and a cork screw in American English.

Still not getting what's wrong over here. Seems right to me.

If we're talking about being naive, it simply means happiness...

They think it’s a cute costume for cute garden gnomes or so. They also sell x mas ornaments for sukkot in Israel 😂

Do they still do that?
I know years ago they did but I assumed by now someone would have spread the word…. Is it really still going on?

It's not a problem at all to use those kinds of decors for a succa so it's not nessecary to spread the word.

Pet peeve of mine, eating and drinking are the same issur.
I get that schools don't want to teach about what tashmish hamita is, fine.
So don't say there are 5 issurim, just say: On yom kippur, we are not allowed to eat or drink, wear leather, smear, or wash.

This is bad and we cringe every time my aunt says it.
I think in Yiddish a p-ssy is a kiss.
And my aunt has zero problems yelling across a hall or wherever she is. Come give Bobby a p-ssy.
We have told her so many times that’s it’s not a nice word to use in public. Or in private. And she still can’t get it straight.
