Rude words you can say in front of your Mum...

...but not if she's Waynetta Slob.
As a schoolboy I was quite fond of the word "pillock."
I may have had a telling off first time I uttered it in the family home, but it soon passed into acceptance.
Any other non-rude swearwords out there?

I seem to be using the phrase "chuffin numpty" rather too much these days

Twonk is pretty good. You can put plenty of vitriol into it and it still isn't swearing.

First time I swore in front of my mum (40+ years ago) was when I'd been stung by a bee (also for the first time) and I came out with "It bl***y hurts!"

In the same vein...what can you say in front of your kids? I draw the line at 'shoot', and feel a tad uneasy when I tell them they're 'taking the piss'. Defo nothing stronger.

I sometimes swear in German because it vents anger and they tend not to understand.

My favorite is "verdammter Muschi Lecker", said with a genial smile. It actually sounds quite nice to the English ear until you find out what it means.

"verdammter Muschi Lecker"

That's easy... "damned Muesli liker" isn't it?

And out of the woodwork come all the people that didn't pay attention at O Level German - or so they would have us believe?

I used to call my brother a pleb and dick-splash which the old dear hated.

He was 10 at the time and sneaking outside my bedroom to catch up on gossip with my friends.

I say anything i want in front of my mum to express myself. Of course it's never directed at her, but swearing in context and where appropriate is fine in my mind and the audience irrelevant.

Bugger - That always earned me a clump around the back of my head. My Mum also had a strange dislike of the word belly.

When my wife was a kid she used to think that the "arse" in Arsenal and arsenic was swearing so she said "Bumnal" and "bumnic."
