[-] HouseWolf@pawb.social 31 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] nodiratime@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

Stattdessen nutze ich Bogen.

Ich nutze Unternehmungs-Betriebssystem, an dem Weg.

[-] maxwells_daemon@lemmy.world 73 points 20 hours ago

I was already gonna make fun of the useless red circle, you didn't need to misplace it lol

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 36 points 19 hours ago

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

[-] wieson@feddit.org 19 points 13 hours ago

Me utilises masonry bow, coincidentally

[-] Tja@programming.dev 9 points 12 hours ago

Why use many word when few word do trick.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 13 points 12 hours ago

They really hate "Miku" so they added it twice

[-] Zabjam@lemm.ee 7 points 12 hours ago

Wait until you hear about "tung"

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 5 points 13 hours ago

That would actually be an interesting challenge for an English class.

[-] AnotherPenguin@programming.dev 51 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

All words starting with N are banned I guess, like I use *ixOS btw

[-] yogurtwrong@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago
[-] SoleInvictus 17 points 19 hours ago

Niagara Falls and Nebraska. Any children whose names start with N - sorry little Neighthan, Nanceigh, and Naruto.

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 18 points 14 hours ago

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 3 points 1 hour 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.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

yeah this just basically "come up with a bunch new things that'll annoy us"

[-] Vitaly_Chernobyl@sopuli.xyz 26 points 19 hours ago

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

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

School bus driving--- Mixing truck driving with zoo keeping.........

Good Luck out there! Keep your sanity! I'm pulling for you!

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

School bus driving— Mixing truck driving with zoo keeping…

That's a great description - except zoo keepers have bars and glass plates to protect them from the animals.

Also of all the words banned, there is only one they are not allowed to spell

[-] beneeney@lemmy.zip 30 points 21 hours ago

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.

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

It often is. Teachers understand those kids need to have something that they can call their own. Every generation does these things with language.

But I'm sure there are some teachers out there that foolishly try to squash the words.

Looks like they banned how to use image editing software as well.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 89 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[-] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Isn't it the one that shoots black holes?

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago

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

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

My friend, sorry to break it to you. But you are the one out of date. Big back and turning Ohio are long gone. Those kids are already on the “I'm too cool to like my childhood things anymore” stage.

[-] theblips@lemm.ee 4 points 6 hours ago

Ohio is ancient, nay! Prehistoric compared to tralalero tralala
