OVERHEARD: KIDS TODAY
Scenario: Two older ladies in the hotel lobby discuss their work at a local school.
Lady1: I asked the little girl, where do you think mom is? She says, “I don’t know, probably home with Dad making babies.” Can you believe this!
Lady 2: What are these kids hearing at home?
Lady 1: I know, the filthiest language!
Lady 2: These little boys. One of ‘em come up to me and says, “Mrs. Smith, he said the T-word! ” And I say, “You turn around and don’t listen. You walk away when you hear something bad. You know right from wrong.” Meanwhile, I’m thinking, what’s the T-word anyway? I’ve got to do more to keep up.
Tits, maybe?
I always thought ‘Turkmenistan’ was the ‘t-word’. Perhaps I have erred.
Tes…, no, wait… Twa… no… Ti… Turgi… um… Tongue in my a… no… TART! That’s it!
Twat.
tramp, trollop?
Tetrabenzene?
Thomas the Tank Engine.
Delurking to say that if they were under 7, it might have been turd. ‘Cuz working with kindergartners & first graders, the B-word is usually butt.
I don’t know what the T word is but we do have a 3 year old at home who at least once per day says “Smell Me Bottom”.
Definitely twat.
i am thinking he can’t spell and it is really the f word. bless his heart.
…and according to my 6 year old, the S word is “stupid”.
Tuna boat Tony
Tits
or maybe titties
I can’t believe I’m about to type this, but my guess would be turd.
Btw, what’s a shadowbox? (http://www.roule.com/PULSE/p_ring.html)
My english-danish dictionary doesn’t know the word, only as shadowboxing, and I guess you wouldn’t do that in a nursery..?
Wrong link. This is the right one: http://www.mightygoods.com/items/2006/09/lscp.php
Sorry.
teletubbies?
Oh yeah – teletubbies is a word that should only be spoken as ‘t-word’.
Tintinnabulation. Disgusting – kids these days….
Tetrahydrocannibinal (duuude!) or Telecommunications stock, depending on the kid.
Oh. My. God.
Hilarious.
The
Typecasting?
Hilarious!
Minds in the gutter. All of you. Especially you, Miss Tintinnabulation. I’m certain the kids were discussing Tea. The “tea word” surely means the little boy couldn’t think of “trivet”.
Turducken, totally.
Tranny? Tom Cruise? Tipper Gore?
I’m going to start a whole blog on bad T words. This will be my new time waster. So, umm… thanks, Maggie!
Maggie,
I’ve critiqued your new book, just read it after ordering it from Amazon. It’s got some good and some bad. I hope it helps when you write your next one. Thx
Kids might say ‘amazing’ words, anyway. I had lots of conversations with my son about ‘words.’
Could T stand for Twat?
Don’t worry, Maggie. I made the horrible mistake of asking my 10 year old son what the “T” word was.
Me: What’s the “T” word?
Boy: T is for Titty.
Then he went on to tell me that the boys in class say the “D” word instead of penis when they talk about their privates. WHEN DO THEY DO THAT?
Tacos. Not actually spoken purely out of reverence, much like Jewish people often type “G-d.” (Should it have been “tac-s”?)
