Innocent words - now questionable!

Biggins

Was reading a thread and a thought occurred to me about how words once safe to say are now either unsafe or raise eyebrows to say the least.
I'll list a few but can anyone think of others?
(Going to include them all on my own website)

Headshops - once a barbers place of work!
Pussy - you can no longer play with yours in public?
Grass - I have grass seed in my car, whats wrong with that officer?
Cock - The farmer says his is a big one! :pac:

Do you remember the day that if you said that you were gay
It meant with joy that you could sing and shout
A fairy was enchanting and dressing up and camping
Was something you did with the scouts
That care free age when an urgent case of aids
Was powdered milk we sent to the Sahara
A fruit was something nice to eat a poof was something for your feet
And a queen was an old tart in a tiara

Ah those far off times when a bong meant a chime
And a buzz was a noise insecticidal
And joint was something between bones and getting really stoned
Only happened to bad people in the Bible
When if you had a bad trip it meant you fell and broke your hip
Cold turkey just meant Christmas at Aunt Dottie's
Coke was something that you burned; a smack was something that you earned from your mumzie wumzie when you had been naughty

The years have gone I'm afraid when only eggs got laid
And only the rhinoceros got horny
Only kangaroos jumped and only camels humped
Getting stuffed meant a little taxidermy
Swing was for trapezes and Tarzan's chimpanzees
Tossing off was something Scotland did with cabers
Now it means something quite obscene
And heavy ugly scene is any movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger

Fággot - Fággot and Peas is a normal meal over here, you try and tell someone that and they get very confused.

Faggot - used to mean a bundle of sticks. Or a potato-based food.

Fag - used to be a type of servant.

In the US it's quite common for lazy people to 'sit on their fanny'

Over this side of the water that's a little more difficult to do!

That said it wouldn't be unusual for lazy cnuts to have a fanny like a kebab! :eek::eek::eek:

Why is it I can say "Prick my finger" but not "finger my prick"?

I wonder how Gay feels about that?

I even feel slightly awkward saying "hole" now, which is just stoopid.

Tart.

Prick as a noun means 'penis' as well as 'a short, sharp piercing'
Prick as a verb means 'the act of piercing'

the phrase "get it up" or "getting it up"

for example you're putting up a tent and someone says "can you get it up" or "do you need a hand getting it up"

Johnny use to just be a dude's name!

Used to mean a bundle of sticks but is now considered a homophobic slur...

Came across the phrase in the States, Afghanistan, Bolton, Manchester, London, St Ives (Cornwall) and at home to name a few - it was also used more so by older folk (I include myself in that category).

I misread this the first time, I was thinking used-not-new. It didn't make much sense. Well, to me, anyway; maybe there are some sections of society that revel in the pleasures of previously-owned funbags....
