"Daddy! That man just said 'stupid'!"
Heh. Emmett used to feel that "shut up!" was about the most offensive thing you could say to somebody.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think I may have actually been taught this at some point.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I know I was. "Stupid" was also a mortal insult in my mother's household.

In my family, we had to pay a quarter into the coffee can if we said "shut up" (which wasn't often). And also when we used my mother's sewing scissors on paper (which was more often).

Same here on "shut up". It was dismissive and degrading because it indicated that you didn't feel the person was worthy of an opinion.
I'll drop f-bombs in front of my Mom now, but I probably wouldn't tell my sister to shut up.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Shut Up is the other one she gets grief for saying, which has beenhard on Joe and I since it is the main way we communicate with Ollie.
Emeline is very quick to notice when we use "Shut Up" or "Stupid" and will put us in time out.

Heeee, MM. Oh, children. And, yes, "Shut up" and "stupid" were not things to be said, back in the day.

Same here. I don't remember if we had a moratorium on "shut up," too, but I don't remember hearing it, so I'm guessing we did.
