    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:

    Never thought of those.
    I got a queer f'ggot in the garden. He's jumping for joy because he's happy and feeling gay!

    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

    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! :D

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

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

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