Swearing

[Dan F]

Yep!

And I was watching an old episode the other day where Ailsa said something along the lines of 'If you say it's because of women, I'll bollock you' to Alf

[Cal]

Hah!!! Thats brilliant!

Well Neighbours more recently have started saying 'bloody' and I'm sure Lou said 'bugger' or something like that about somebody. Not that it bothers me or anything, it's just rather noticeable.

Yeah, i've noticed that Neighbourds have been doing it lately. Boyd says a lot of "swear words", it's evolved a bit from "spigging". I always loved that!

I think it's great that the programmes don't have a lot of swearing though, it's better to watch this way! Just seems built into their characters. I could never imagine Sally saying, 'oh just **** off Alf, get a ******** life!" Lol.

Home and away doesn't need it, it has lasted all these years without it so I don't see why there is any need to start now.

Rack-off isn't made up, apparently some Australians do actually say that.

Also, they used to say bloody, but they don't anymore, probably because that's considered swearing in the UK. Mild swearing, but still swearing, and considering how early the show is on and it's young audience, I can understand why Five might cut scenes or whatever if they contained swearing.

If I want to hear swearing, I'll watch The Sopranos!

I say rack off sometimes. Depends who Im talking to. Its from the 70s!

And as for the use of "bloody".... I wonder if anyone here is aware that the word "bloody" appears in the bible?

Ever heard that saying "bloody's in the bible, bloody's in the book & if you dont believe me, go have a bloody look"?!.

I can't remember ever saying "rack off". Although I have told a few people to p*ss off.

I like it when they say "Rack off". Reminds me of the Bobby and Carly days

Don't forget Emma's "Drop Dead"

Oh yeah she was the ultimate stroppy teen!
