A teacher banning the word "can't" for the sake of encouragement is some of the funniest shit I have ever heard. I'm just imagining this rule being put in place before quickly being revoked because all conversations fell into shambles.
@@Banana_Fusion I know, I'm such a small youtuber I'm amazed that I got here!!! ...but of all videos I could be in I am very happy that I am in the 'CEPHALOPLOD CONUNDRUM' video
My teacher once banned the phrase “weird flex but okay“ Everyone started saying “Preposterous boast, but alas...“ It was the funniest month before she unbanned it
My elementary school would never😭 they like to sing it😭 and im out of elementary i hated that school. Not because of the song, because of how helpless they were to me
In 6th grade, our class got the words “big brain” banned because it was apparently insulting to other people who might not think they were smart. We just replaced it with “large cerebellum”
In my elementary school, the fifth graders really loved Sasquatch, so much so they started saying “stay squatchy” all the time. The teachers didn’t know what this meant and promptly banned the phrase, but later that year at fifth grade graduation nearly every kid ended their speech with “stay squatchy” because what were the teachers gonna do, it was the last day of school
@@j.calvert3361 Who says this person went to school in the US? the comment doesn't specify where they are from. I grew up in the US however and don't recall any words being banned- I think it depends more on the specific school or teachers.
same. if schools in my country did this there would be SOOO many words banned. in my school, during assembly the teachers just say that they dont want to hear anyone say a specific word again. that obviously never works though. honestly im kinda curious as to how this whole "banning words: thing works, like what kind of punishment do students get for saying it?
pretty wild right. im not from USA either but had no idea schools could ban things without having the gouvernment do it. crazy how they can have that much power. while they are not private company's.
my french teacher banned the word “bro” and would send any kid who said it to detention because apparently it was “gang related” so obviously, me and my friends rebelled and started saying things like “broccoli” “bronchitis” and other words like that. it was hilarious just hearing a kid say “wassup my bronchitis” in the hall
There was a new story about a deaf child who's name was Hunter. He was not allowed to sign his own name because that was considered "violence." The sign language gesture for Hunter looks like finger guns and all references to gun violence is banned. They tried to ask his mom to change his name.
reminds me of that guy who's playstation account got banned because of his username even though he sent pictures of his passport or some other ID to prove it was his real name
In elementary school they banned the word "Sacrifice" when we shoved kids off the play structure during groundies, to avoid this we simply chanted "SACK OF RICE"
Bahahahhaha my first year in marching band we’d all chant “sack of rice” all the time, but just because it was funny, not because the real word was banned. I still do it every once in a while as an inside joke
Coincidentally my choir also chanted SACK OF RICE but it was because I yelled it out by accident, also our cult was amazing because we had a Russian girl in our class chant and actual ritual song in Russian, our choir teacher was chill about it :D
So thar was this game called "sacrificed" in which thar are three sides one the monster that was in the slide two the sacrifice which was put in the slide and three the sacrificer So we pick the sacrificed and monster then the sacrificers pushed and the monster pulled in the slide untill they get in but it was stopped by a teacher when they found out
When I went to school, think it was middle school, one of the teachers (not one of mine thankfully) had apparently banned the words "Yes" and ANYTHING, to do with memes, or internet lingo. This caused such a catastrophic uproar that it split the school teachers into two groups, those who agreed, and those who did not. My principle hated all of them after that, apparently.
in middle school the school banned the word "thot", which was fair, except that they announced it over the intercom and half the school (including teachers) assumed they said "thought". obviously we immediately started ignoring it but it was very funny to be a sheltered 11 year old trying to figure out what was wrong with thinking in the past tense
The two things I learned from this is that language is so malleable and creative that banning words and phrases is literally impossible and that children are apparently keen to break stupid rules.
Yeah, until I saw this I had no idea that banned words in school were a thing. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. Isn't it better to try and work on what the student is *trying* to say, rather than the words they're actually using? I don't see how banning "shut up" can make someone a better person.
My school also banned "ginger" because this was when the "gingers don't have souls" thing was in full swing, and I was sent to detention when I told a teacher *not* to call my hair color "strawberry blonde" because I do actually have ginger hair and she told me to dye it a different color. To be clear, I technically didn't get detention for correcting her and saying ginger, I got detention for saying "fuck no" at the hair dye thing.
Fuck yeah to that fuck no! Dye your hair? Get all the way the fuck outta here! Some teachers are delusional about the amount of power they have over students' lives and bodies.
My high-school teacher banned the names of the schools other students went to when they were younger because she didn’t want people to “get stuck in the past”.
Imagine calling a kid's parents to explain that they were being suspended because they refused to stop saying "bet." That parent would lose their effing mind. So yeah, ultimately as long as a little detention doesn't bother you, not much of a motivation to stop
A box implies space within. Saying outside implies space without., sooo all that's keeping people from thinking in an infinite way is 6 walls of an illusion. Pretty interesting when you compare that across nearly 8 billion people.
My teacher banned the word “Batman” because he’s apparently too violent for kids. Even “bat”, “yellow”, “black”, anything related to Batman was banned in my class and if we said any of these words even accidentally, we would have to write a 2 page essay on our notebook explaining why Paw Patrol is the best kids superhero show 😭
BRO MY TEACH DECIDED TO BAN “belt”, “mask”, “suit”, “dark”, “knight” AND EVEN “man” TODAY 😭🙏 (dw it’s only in my English class, my other teachers in the other classes r chill and don’t give af. btw we’re fking middle school students)
My school tried to ban communism. Like the whole concept of communism. The kids brought the Problem to the school council saying that it was a violation of free speech and they did a school wide vote. My school now has a fairly sized community of middle school communists who regularly chant the Soviet Union anthem through the halls
this whole situation is just bruh edit, now that I have recovered from the psychic damage this post did to me: you know how japanese people cringe when they meet a western weirdo who only knows japan from anime and doesn't care to learn anything about actual japan? yeah that's me when I meet people who have memorized that goddamned anthem phonetically
My school completely banned any and all discussion of, or references to, "the internet" or "the news". Their argument was that, I shit you not, "School is for learning, not for discussion." I remember one day when we were in a computer science class and one of the humanities teachers walked in and then gave us all detention for two and a half hours after school because we were discussing the use of Twitter as a marketing tool... as part of the curriculum.
I live in South Africa, a nation with 12 official languages, and my school banned people from speaking any language other than English because "it is excluding the other students"
They must've been like "oh yeah, those Dutch-speaking students must be teasing that little boy behind his back", when really they were probably talking about trees or some other dumb topic.
@@ameliasteynberg5841 I would say that both are pretty similar. Banning english would mean banning the majority language and banning Welsh, Cornish, Scots, Scottish Gaelic, etc. would be more similar by meaning that you ban most languages spoken there.
When I was in primary school, they banned us doing the YMCA so we all banded together in the yard and did a FULL school YMCA. It was hilarious seeing teachers trying to break us apart. Edit: Thanks for all the likes! Glad I made ya'll laugh with something stupid from my days in primary. 😂
@@joaquinlezcano2372 I shit you not, my school set up this reading program to improve students' vocabulary except they never once used the term 'vocabulary', instead they talked about improving your 'word box' or some shit Edit: I believe they actually used the term 'word bank', could still be misremembering though
my 6th grade choir teacher banned the phrase "your mom"... it's been 2 years and it still haunts me. in my current class, the phrase "you know what that means, fish!" from the you, me gas station video.
I had the word "giggle" banned in my class because a teacher insisted it was a racial slur. She also banned hand sanitizer and the Hobbit. Not the words, the items.
For anyone dealing with this, as long as your words are not discriminatory or being used to disrupt class, your school cannot ban words, so you can take them to court if they do.
I had 2 teachers ban the word banana because of the magic hallway bananas. My theatre teacher also banned "shut up" which resulted in the entire class occasionally yelling "SILENCE MORTALS!" He banned the word "hell", and a bunch of kids just kept saying Michigan instead.
My class managed to get the words "there's no paper" banned back in middle school because we were clowning our school's comically irresponsible financial decision-making with it The backstory is that at some point our school came out and told us and our parents that it can't afford paper (printer nor toilet) so it would be appreciated if we brought any we had to spare. To which we were like "fair enough, the school is small, isolated and underfunded, it's not that surprising" except that wasn't even the case. We found out a few weeks after when some people burst into the classroom during class and started taking measurements of the wall, and when we asked the teacher what that was about, she told us it was cause the school was planning to get a smart board installed there. We all went silent for a bit until a kid finally piped up and asked "so you can't afford paper but you can afford smart boards?" and the teacher straight up told us yes and that they were given the choice between the two, and like the responsible adults they were, they chose the smart board. So we turned it into an inside joke within our class and even put the sentence on shirts and wore them at the end of the school year. It ended up drawing the other kids' attention (it was a bit funny since the plural of paper was misspelled, but it's hard to explain since it was a different language from english. I guess the closest english equivalent would be for example spelling it as gooses instead of geese), so we explained to them what it meant and how we found out, and by the next semester the entire school was passively aggressively clowning the teachers with that sentence. Which isn't a lot since there was about 100 students in total but clearly the teachers took it personally cause they ended up banning the words
On the first day on seventh grade, my science teacher told us that we weren't allowed to say the word "suck" and didn't explain why, and she even spent ten minutes having us guess the word because she didn't want to say it herself. If I remember correctly, someone guessed "shit" but the teacher was fine with that
As a teacher, I have to say these word bans is petty, asinine, and just plain counterproductive. The more you ban kids from trying to say a word, the more they want to do it. Just think of the whole ordeal with the F word.
my 5th grade english teacher banned the word "Stuff" because she thought it was childish and kept telling us that it would affect our grade if we used it in assignments in high school. I'm now about to finish my sophomore year in HS and have used it in at least one assignment in the last 5 years, with no negative affect on my grades
I'm assuming that you mean in essays and other assignments, which isn't a weird hangup at all as one of the purposes of students writing essays is to be able to clearly and effectively communicate ideas. The word "stuff" is either blatantly detrimental, unnecessarily vague, or entirely pointless, so it's definitely a good habit to reduce how often you use it in these sorts of scenarios (in essays, etc). To demonstrate what I mean, I'll use "I'm assuming that you mean in essays and other assignments" as an example. "I'm assuming that you mean in that stuff" - this is horrible and I hope nobody would write this because you should be able to tell what's wrong with it "I'm assuming that you mean in essays and stuff" - this is completely fine in spontaneous conversation, but if you get to think through every word, you have no excuse for not using what "stuff" is. "I'm assuming that you mean in essays and other assignments and stuff" - here, "and stuff" does nothing because there's already a catch-all that is relevant to the topic. A much more justifiable example is something like "his stuff." Here, "stuff" is totally fine if the contents don't matter and if tone isn't a concern, but schools typically look for some kind of an academic tone (which is a different argument altogether). tldr: "Stuff" is a crutch that gets in the way of the specificity of language, therefore avoiding it in your writing is more often than not correct, so a teacher should try and work towards that. However, if the word "stuff" was also being policed outside of writing, that IS a strange and pointless hangup that accomplishes nothing. It's also excessive to actually drop a grade, especially if you're in 5th grade, but for all we know it was an empty threat. Also if you only used "stuff" in one instance in one assignment, the teacher probably straight up doesn't care enough to penalize it. Depending on how they grade they might've even wanted to do something about it but couldn't warrant dropping the grade from something so inconsequential. They might not have even realized you used it at all, honestly.
@@goggles8691 no, I mean she also banned us from saying it out loud at any point during class as well. And I’m not reading the entire essay you… wait a minute
@@unwoundsteak17 oh ok it was the worst case, go ahead and make fun of that bullshit as much as you want then I'm all for it now (but all I'm saying is that clearly your teacher read my essay (and doesn't understand why informal language exists (unless it was in an "explain what stuff is" kinda way in which case I'm low-key back on her side)))
In my language arts/creating writing class, our teacher had to ban the word “Ohio” because students started laughing every time it was brought up and she was scared it had some alternate sexual meaning 💀
“South Africa” was banned in my trivia club because kids kept saying it when they didn’t know the answer to a question. We went to a tournament, and guess what the answer to the last question was?
Reminds me of that time my middle school banned the word Tim and other Tim deviations. Our principal's name was Tim. They only put the ban in place because they set up (THEY) an event on the last ten days of school where we had to say goodbye to Tim on the "10 Days of Tim" and I just kept on saying "Merry Tim-mas!" to everyone. Eventually we started ritual worship of the 10 Days of Tim which was when they put it in place. According to my friend, they have yet to unban it.
My friends and I almost got the name "Bob" banned in a similar fashion. We found out about the Church of the Subgenius and let's just say it greatly impacted us.
My school never banned words, but they did ban "unsactioned fun". Any "fun" had by students where a faculty member was not involved was banned. They posted 3 of the contracted security guards in the courtyard to enforce it. It lasted about a total of one semester before everyone wanted it removed. Turns out the reason it was instated was so that they could find people who did drugs. because somehow doing drugs and "unsactioned fun" are corelated.
My middle school classmate Nathaniel was specifically disciplined after blurting "NEWSFLASH!" too many times, after practically any event occurred, and then "reporting" it. Our teacher, an easily annoyed old woman I'll call Mrs. C, had enough, and told him in front of the class, "Alright, Nate, if you say 'newsflash' one more time, I'm going to mark your card" (behavior card, 2 strikes in a day meant detention when you hit 7th and 8th grade). Of course, the legend replied, "NEWSFLASH! Mrs. C is going to mark my card!" We collectively lost it and I'm pretty sure I was near tears at my desk. I'm 25 and it's still hilarious to me.
He continued being a legend for the two more years I knew him, his dad had cancer and the both of them got free tickets to the Superbowl @@TheShadowMaven
NEWSFLASH! I looked him up now and he's a delivery driver at a pharmacy near my parents' home. Which is funny. he really stayed in the neighborhood. that's nice though. the pharmacy website says he works there and loves it there because of how they helped his dad when he was ill. 🥹@@TheShadowMaven
A friend had the word "socks" banned for bit back in their early school in Sydney. Teachers thought students were talking about fighting. That's why my friend from the AU I play online games with still calls them 'foot gloves'.
The word “needle” was banned in 5th grade because apparently it was related to drugs in some way. We all called it the “sharp pointy stick”, so the teachers banned all words and phrases related to sharp sticks. I remember this one time where we were doing medieval Europe and one kid asked “What were the broadswords made of?”, and his parents were called. Never saw the bloke again. This got so bad that people actually called sharp pointy things the name of the kid who left(we’ll call him Bob). Just imagine hearing “What type of Bob’s were used during the crusades?”. And then the word Bob got banned, and all the kids named Bob were assigned numbers from the students. That’s when we decided to go to a new school. One of my friends contacted me and told me that the policy still existed.
I doubt this is true (just because that’s insane) but if it is then that school can likely be sued for reasons depending on the country or state/territory/province/etc inside a country you live in.
My english teacher banned the word "Cannibalism" because she made us do a 'you're trapped on an island with these 4 people, what would you have them do?' task and one of them was completely useless in his skillset so we all unanimously decided as a class that we'd just eat him.
I mean that's not a bad idea tbf. I once saw a paperwork where the teacher asked this kid if they'd rather be stuck on an island alone or with someone they hate; The kid answered with the latter so that they'd have something to eat. What makes this even funnier is that they got a good grade for it! Sometimes kids are in fact wiser in some scenarios....
My school banned "soy sauce" because my friends and I created an organization called the Anti Soy Sauce Association (which was also banned) better known as ASSA (also banned), and soy sauce was an evil alter ego. Then there was a rival organization known as the SSIA (Soy Sauce Intelligence Agency) who worked undercover in hopes of undermining ASSA. They were also banned due to some widespread playground rivalries. Please note that this all happened in 4th grade, in which an entire class was split into the SSIA and ASSA.
@@MoonlarkSpirits Right? I mean I may be a little biased considering the fact that I made both of them.... but I thought it was hilarious. I don't know how I managed to be on both sides, but I was.
In my 4th grade class the word "Shrek" was banned as it was being used in the entirety of our short stories. To sum it all up, there were a lot of green men and swamps post-banning
My school banned at insults. My class was French immersion, and therefore started calling people random stuff in French that /sounded/ like an insult. Which lead to them banning such words as snail, tree, broken, grapefruit, and species. Only in French though
our school banned the common phrase “you’re ugly” so the sentence “doust thou giveth chase when thy hurls the branch?” came to life a couple days later
For some reason my computer science and engineering classes respectively were obsessed with saying "rat", and it got to the point where the teacher who tought both classes banned "rat", "mouse", "rodent", etc. We had to call computer mice "clicky clicky cursor movers" for the rest of the year and if we said one of the banned words the teacher threatened us with the wrath of a malevolent* Peppa Pig toy.
My social studies teacher banned the word "Phone" because kids kept saying "Why is your phone out?" so much that she told us that if we said the word, we would get points taken away. We started saying "Cellular device", "Wifi-needing box", rechargeable rectangularprism", and so many other words to replace the word "Phone"
You could but shouldn’t call it “cellphone” Technically, that’s not bad, because they banned “phone” not “cellphone”, so I’ve still got a clean record.
A couple of kids got the word "GIF" banned from one of my classes by having heated arguments during group work over how the word is supposed to be pronounced. The teacher said these arguments decreased productivity.
In my middle school, kids wouldn't stop randomly blurting "LeBron James" in the middle of bible class. My teacher got so sick of it that she went up to the main instigator of the conundrum and leaned her hand on his desk so they were eye-to-eye and told him in full seriousness, "Say that one more and you are going to be 'LeBron Jamesing' yourself out the door." The whole class erupted with laughter, and so she banned the name.
I remember at my elementary school they had banned the word “MoMo”, so kids wouldn’t look it up and scare themselves. Kids who did say it, were never seen again that school year.
in my primary school, they banned the word gay, before any of us were old enough to know what it actually meant. They were attempting to do the "don't use gay as an insult" thing, which obviously had the opposite effect as the boys would go around calling each other gay because they knew it as an insult.
My school never did that, but i live in a very heavily cknservative area so everybody does that anyway. And they'd also completely refuse to listen when i tried to explain that they shouldn't do that because of how harmful it is to gay people, but their response was always "I know there's nothing wrong with being gay. I'm just making a joke that's not harming anybody". They do the same thing with racist stuff like just ranfomly going "ching chong bing bong" making fun of people who speak asisn languages.
I think this was common for people growing up in the 2000s. “Gay” was a bad word like “shit” and “fuck”. Being in a same sex relationship was fine, but saying that word was not. Weirdly they had the same opinion about the word “Jew”. The school was totally accepting of Jewish people but saying the word Jew would get you in trouble?
My sixth grade social studies teacher banned the words “gyatt, spoofy” and the entirety of the “one two buckle my shoe” meme. One kid was singing the last one in the hallway, keep in mind NOT THE CLASS, and that teacher gave him detention.
My 6th grade teacher tried banning the words "emo" and "me personally, I would not take that/let that slide". They also tried banning"racist" so kids said "racially motivated" instead. One girl was a contortionist and her nickname was "spineless". That got banned too because it was "insulting" even though the girl loved the nickname
not a word but a teacher tried to ban drawing in school because of me. the reason being she thought my drawings were inappropriate for school. (i drew things like stick figures getting maimed) i ignored her and continued drawing and when she tried to punish me i said "you saying it doesnt make it a rule" until one day when she dragged me to the principal who finally told her to leave me alone because banning drawing is a violation of my rights lol.
My school banned the song "Row row row your boat" because kids kept singing a version about killing their teacher. Why did they sing this? She banned the phrases "I forgive you" and "it's okay" in response to apologies, the word "suck" and mentioning you were in the gifted program. I think she also tried to ban the word "vampire". I also remember a kid got in trouble for saying "dang" because it was to vulgar and we needed to say "darn" instead. In 4th grade i got in trouble for saying duh. We couldn't mention guns, make finger guns, or make any depiction of guns, including a L-shaped piece of construction paper. We found that out the hard way after we got in trouble for including that in a presentation about the right to bear arms. What did they expect us to do? They didn't explain.
in my school's d&d club we were banned from our characters doing certain things including: -killing a town and taking it over -digging up graves -yelling about spongebob -freezing people and then thawing them and then repeating it over and over -eating paper, glass, ice, or all of them at once (we tried to do all of these)

We were banned from eating horses and any humanoid beings, trust me, I was the one eating them half the time, its only when everyone started to make hunting parties to kill and eat them, they got banned
I remember my 2nd grade class banned the word "hate", and proceeded to explain what it meant. It was a decent idea because she wanted us to all get along and for there to be a "no hate environment", only problem was that she terrible when it came to controlling any kind of bullying going on and I was a prime target. Now that I think of it, all of my bullys who would go on to torment me for the next several years of my life going into highschool were in that damn class. So my rebellious ass decided to say, in front of the whole class while we were sitting down "I HATE YOU" to this little gremlin shit called "Gavin" and the class audibly gasped. No one had said this before, but I meant it. I hated Gavin. And the teacher asked me why I said it. It's been so long that I can't remember what I said but I probably got in trouble.
Every bully victim will always be punished for being the victim because the teachers will always have a soft spot for pieces of shit like gavin,its a mistery why ALL teachers are in love with bullies and protect them
In my old primary school they banned Teletubbies because my class wouldn't stop using it as a theme in drama and banned among us because when it was a hit because they found it inappropriate... We relabeled it "Elfie" as a Christmas version. Yeah... that got banned too.
Our school banned that trick where it looks like you're pulling your thumb off (you know, the one that grandads do). They banned it because we had a teacher who lost her thumb in a car crash so they literally replaced it with her fucking big toe. Anyway, they specifically banned that thumb trick because they thought people would do it to take the piss out of her... despite the fact nobody had even thought about doing it.
i had something like this happen too. one monday morning the principal came into our class to tell how our teacher's mom had suddenly passed away in the weekend, and told us not to make any jokes about mothers dying. and the entire class was stunned, none of us had any intention of doing that because we already knew that was a horrible thing to do.
My elementary school music teacher banned the phrases "shut up" (she called it the "s word"), "I don't like _____", and I can't do _____" because they were "negative". She also banned the word "glockenspiel" because some kids were using it instead of the word "gun", as in, "I have a *glockenspiel* at home, yeah it can fire __ rounds per minute" or whatever. It was very difficult when our Veteran's Day thing came around and some of us were playing glockenspiels. We started calling them "glocks" which is arguably worse. She was a little weird.
@@flarelukethecomedian3251 Yeah it just happens that subjective subjects such as English, and arguably Music, spawn the emotionally sensitive, waffling BS teachers
I remember Happy Wheels being really popular in my elementary school, but instead of blocking the site they just banned the name. So people started calling it “Happy Meals” or similar inversions/similar phrases (‘sad legs’, ‘wacky eels’, etc.)
at my school, our social studies teacher banned the word “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis” because people kept flexing they could say it (including me 😎) and it got annoying
my school banned anything related to squid game, like imagine you wanted to play red light greenlight, you'd have a "talk" about how it was not safe for kids, and parents would be called
My primary school banned the word “surrounded” because when one boy was sitting next to two girls, everyone would say he was “surrounded by girls” (and vice versa). I don’t know if teachers thought it was a sex thing, but… it was weird.
i got the phrase “you beady eyed bottom feeder” banned at my old primary school because we weren’t allowed to swear so our insults got progressively more creative ☠️
My school banned people running around as a train like holding on to peoples shoulders... They also banned sitting on the monkey bars... When they had like a ladder on the play grounds you were allowed to sit on and jump off of...
i cant remember if i commented this on the other video but my teachers banned us from calling each other "stupid" or "dumb" because they thought it was damaging to our self-esteem. we replaced the words with "silly" so then we all started asking each other "are you SILLY" and calling each other "silly billies" and the teachers gave up.
Wasn't banned at my school, but when "ligma" jokes were really popular our Bible teacher heard other kids making jokes about it and went around the room asking what ligma was with full sincerity. I was worried that if I laughed he would ask me next and I would get in trouble somehow even though I didn't make any jokes. So eventually one kid explained it by just saying that the joke was that it sounded like "lick my" and the teacher let it go, which was super surprising because he was a huge jerk most of the time.
My teacher once banned "El Tobosco". We were constantly saying it without even thinking twice and eventually she caught on. We were scolded and told not to say that since it had "L" and that meant loser, and it was derogatory- we tried to say "No, it's Spanish. El Tobosco. E L." Didn't work. At that point, we were so addicted to randomly saying it that it was practically in our muscle memory. I even tried to replace it with "Baby Waluigi." Don't ask where that came from because I have no idea.
Not at school, but I have two things. Fist, my mother banned me from saying the word "dice" as well, because after getting into DnD I developed an obsession, and that ban resulted in me refering to them as "shiny math rocks". And secondly, my father banned me from saying the word "plum", because he thought it was an insult directed at him, since he previously banned me from saying f*ck, and I started going "Ah plum!" instead.
Cupcake was not banned but disapproved at my old church as it was being used in place of the F-word by the adults. It was wild, looking back, as suddenly every word people said when surprised or upset was under scrutiny.
My high school tried to ban the name "Hendrickson" because that was the last name of a perverted math teacher they fired after DECADES of people complaining about him, and they didn't want anybody to complain about how long it took for him to be fired and the fact that he was fired for insulting a student's blonde hair and not for harassing girls in his class. The problem was, a kid related to him (and as such had the same last name. I think it was his grandson or grand nephew) started going to the school, since it was a very small town and basically everyone went to the same high school. They couldn't just tell him to not sign his last name, so they lifted the ban on writing the name Hendrickson. The next day, the girl's bathroom was absolutely desecrated with people writing threats against the teacher. Even the grandson began absolutely eviscerating him by writing a whole ten page list of the girls he harassed. It wasn't long until the name was banned, again, and they told him to use "[first name] Hend." on his papers.

one time our year 5 teacher threatened us with 5 minutes of lost golden time for every time we used the word "said" to describe someone saying something in a creative writing task we were set. we had to use more descriptive words. i blame primary school for entire year 11 populations using way too many big words in their english language GCSEs without really knowing what they mean and losing marks for sounding silly.
I loved my highschool because they didn't ban phrases but encouraged us to come up with new ones, even if they were horrible punny cracks at the staff. The principal for my first 2 years there had the surname "Jalema" so for whatever reason we all started saying shit like "when life gives you lemons you make Jalema-nade" or replacing the word dilemma with his name.
I personally would love to revisit the topic of “unusual dreams”. This is only coming up now because as of the last few days I have had reoccurring dreams about my car being stolen. like being woken up ( in the dream) to the sounds my car usually makes, then suddenly leaping up and phasing through the walls and windows to stop the thief like some ghost version of the T 1000 chasing John Connor in Judgement Day. When I’d eventually stop the thief, and pull him out of my car and actually look at him, It was ME. I’d then wake up and have an existential crisis every time this happens. The worse part is, how the hell do I explain to my therapist that I have dreams of myself stealing my own car.

My school banned any word they considered "boring" such as get, sad, like, etc. because they wanted students to use a wider range of vocabulary. On top of this, certain subjects had their own banned words, such as banning the word "picture" in art. We had to use the word "composition" instead.

Coincidentally my choir also chanted SACK OF RICE but it was because I yelled it out by accident, also our cult was amazing because we had a Russian girl in our class chant and actual ritual song in Russian, our choir teacher was chill about it :D
So thar was this game called "sacrificed" in which thar are three sides one the monster that was in the slide two the sacrifice which was put in the slide and three the sacrificer

When I went to school, think it was middle school, one of the teachers (not one of mine thankfully) had apparently banned the words "Yes" and ANYTHING, to do with memes, or internet lingo.

My class managed to get the words "there's no paper" banned back in middle school because we were clowning our school's comically irresponsible financial decision-making with it
The backstory is that at some point our school came out and told us and our parents that it can't afford paper (printer nor toilet) so it would be appreciated if we brought any we had to spare. To which we were like "fair enough, the school is small, isolated and underfunded, it's not that surprising" except that wasn't even the case. We found out a few weeks after when some people burst into the classroom during class and started taking measurements of the wall, and when we asked the teacher what that was about, she told us it was cause the school was planning to get a smart board installed there. We all went silent for a bit until a kid finally piped up and asked "so you can't afford paper but you can afford smart boards?" and the teacher straight up told us yes and that they were given the choice between the two, and like the responsible adults they were, they chose the smart board.
So we turned it into an inside joke within our class and even put the sentence on shirts and wore them at the end of the school year. It ended up drawing the other kids' attention (it was a bit funny since the plural of paper was misspelled, but it's hard to explain since it was a different language from english. I guess the closest english equivalent would be for example spelling it as gooses instead of geese), so we explained to them what it meant and how we found out, and by the next semester the entire school was passively aggressively clowning the teachers with that sentence. Which isn't a lot since there was about 100 students in total but clearly the teachers took it personally cause they ended up banning the words

my 5th grade english teacher banned the word "Stuff" because she thought it was childish and kept telling us that it would affect our grade if we used it in assignments in high school. I'm now about to finish my sophomore year in HS and have used it in at least one assignment in the last 5 years, with no negative affect on my grades
I swear, the weird hangups some teachers have, honestly.
I'm assuming that you mean in essays and other assignments, which isn't a weird hangup at all as one of the purposes of students writing essays is to be able to clearly and effectively communicate ideas. The word "stuff" is either blatantly detrimental, unnecessarily vague, or entirely pointless, so it's definitely a good habit to reduce how often you use it in these sorts of scenarios (in essays, etc).
To demonstrate what I mean, I'll use "I'm assuming that you mean in essays and other assignments" as an example.
"I'm assuming that you mean in that stuff" - this is horrible and I hope nobody would write this because you should be able to tell what's wrong with it
"I'm assuming that you mean in essays and stuff" - this is completely fine in spontaneous conversation, but if you get to think through every word, you have no excuse for not using what "stuff" is.
"I'm assuming that you mean in essays and other assignments and stuff" - here, "and stuff" does nothing because there's already a catch-all that is relevant to the topic.
A much more justifiable example is something like "his stuff." Here, "stuff" is totally fine if the contents don't matter and if tone isn't a concern, but schools typically look for some kind of an academic tone (which is a different argument altogether).
tldr: "Stuff" is a crutch that gets in the way of the specificity of language, therefore avoiding it in your writing is more often than not correct, so a teacher should try and work towards that.
However, if the word "stuff" was also being policed outside of writing, that IS a strange and pointless hangup that accomplishes nothing. It's also excessive to actually drop a grade, especially if you're in 5th grade, but for all we know it was an empty threat.
Also if you only used "stuff" in one instance in one assignment, the teacher probably straight up doesn't care enough to penalize it. Depending on how they grade they might've even wanted to do something about it but couldn't warrant dropping the grade from something so inconsequential. They might not have even realized you used it at all, honestly.

A friend had the word "socks" banned for bit back in their early school in Sydney. Teachers thought students were talking about fighting. That's why my friend from the AU I play online games with still calls them 'foot gloves'.
The word “needle” was banned in 5th grade because apparently it was related to drugs in some way. We all called it the “sharp pointy stick”, so the teachers banned all words and phrases related to sharp sticks. I remember this one time where we were doing medieval Europe and one kid asked “What were the broadswords made of?”, and his parents were called. Never saw the bloke again. This got so bad that people actually called sharp pointy things the name of the kid who left(we’ll call him Bob). Just imagine hearing “What type of Bob’s were used during the crusades?”. And then the word Bob got banned, and all the kids named Bob were assigned numbers from the students. That’s when we decided to go to a new school. One of my friends contacted me and told me that the policy still existed.
What the hell is that🤣

My english teacher banned the word "Cannibalism" because she made us do a 'you're trapped on an island with these 4 people, what would you have them do?' task and one of them was completely useless in his skillset so we all unanimously decided as a class that we'd just eat him.
That’s dumb
I meant the teacher not the students
I mean that's not a bad idea tbf. I once saw a paperwork where the teacher asked this kid if they'd rather be stuck on an island alone or with someone they hate; The kid answered with the latter so that they'd have something to eat. What makes this even funnier is that they got a good grade for it! Sometimes kids are in fact wiser in some scenarios....

My school banned "soy sauce" because my friends and I created an organization called the Anti Soy Sauce Association (which was also banned) better known as ASSA (also banned), and soy sauce was an evil alter ego. Then there was a rival organization known as the SSIA (Soy Sauce Intelligence Agency) who worked undercover in hopes of undermining ASSA. They were also banned due to some widespread playground rivalries. Please note that this all happened in 4th grade, in which an entire class was split into the SSIA and ASSA.
That was brilliant they should’ve never banned that

I remember at my elementary school they had banned the word “MoMo”, so kids wouldn’t look it up and scare themselves. Kids who did say it, were never seen again that school year.

in my primary school, they banned the word gay, before any of us were old enough to know what it actually meant. They were attempting to do the "don't use gay as an insult" thing, which obviously had the opposite effect as the boys would go around calling each other gay because they knew it as an insult.
My school never did that, but i live in a very heavily cknservative area so everybody does that anyway. And they'd also completely refuse to listen when i tried to explain that they shouldn't do that because of how harmful it is to gay people, but their response was always "I know there's nothing wrong with being gay. I'm just making a joke that's not harming anybody". They do the same thing with racist stuff like just ranfomly going "ching chong bing bong" making fun of people who speak asisn languages.
@@CodaBlair as a chinese person, i would be fine with people going "ching chong bing bong" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think this was common for people growing up in the 2000s. “Gay” was a bad word like “shit” and “fuck”. Being in a same sex relationship was fine, but saying that word was not. Weirdly they had the same opinion about the word “Jew”. The school was totally accepting of Jewish people but saying the word Jew would get you in trouble?
So me yelling that IM GAY would get me in trouble!?
Because if I went to that school I would be expelled before first period even ended.

My sixth grade social studies teacher banned the words “gyatt, spoofy” and the entirety of the “one two buckle my shoe” meme. One kid was singing the last one in the hallway, keep in mind NOT THE CLASS, and that teacher gave him detention.

They also tried banning"racist" so kids said "racially motivated" instead.
One girl was a contortionist and her nickname was "spineless". That got banned too because it was "insulting" even though the girl loved the nickname

She banned the phrases "I forgive you" and "it's okay" in response to apologies, the word "suck" and mentioning you were in the gifted program. I think she also tried to ban the word "vampire".
I also remember a kid got in trouble for saying "dang" because it was to vulgar and we needed to say "darn" instead. In 4th grade i got in trouble for saying duh.
We couldn't mention guns, make finger guns, or make any depiction of guns, including a L-shaped piece of construction paper. We found that out the hard way after we got in trouble for including that in a presentation about the right to bear arms. What did they expect us to do? They didn't explain.

I remember my 2nd grade class banned the word "hate", and proceeded to explain what it meant. It was a decent idea because she wanted us to all get along and for there to be a "no hate environment", only problem was that she terrible when it came to controlling any kind of bullying going on and I was a prime target. Now that I think of it, all of my bullys who would go on to torment me for the next several years of my life going into highschool were in that damn class. So my rebellious ass decided to say, in front of the whole class while we were sitting down "I HATE YOU" to this little gremlin shit called "Gavin" and the class audibly gasped. No one had said this before, but I meant it. I hated Gavin. And the teacher asked me why I said it. It's been so long that I can't remember what I said but I probably got in trouble.
That just makes it more impactful

Anyway, they specifically banned that thumb trick because they thought people would do it to take the piss out of her... despite the fact nobody had even thought about doing it.
i had something like this happen too. one monday morning the principal came into our class to tell how our teacher's mom had suddenly passed away in the weekend, and told us not to make any jokes about mothers dying. and the entire class was stunned, none of us had any intention of doing that because we already knew that was a horrible thing to do.

She also banned the word "glockenspiel" because some kids were using it instead of the word "gun", as in, "I have a *glockenspiel* at home, yeah it can fire __ rounds per minute" or whatever. It was very difficult when our Veteran's Day thing came around and some of us were playing glockenspiels. We started calling them "glocks" which is arguably worse.

My teacher once banned "El Tobosco".
We were constantly saying it without even thinking twice and eventually she caught on. We were scolded and told not to say that since it had "L" and that meant loser, and it was derogatory- we tried to say "No, it's Spanish. El Tobosco. E L." Didn't work. At that point, we were so addicted to randomly saying it that it was practically in our muscle memory. I even tried to replace it with "Baby Waluigi." Don't ask where that came from because I have no idea.
Not at school, but I have two things.
Fist, my mother banned me from saying the word "dice" as well, because after getting into DnD I developed an obsession, and that ban resulted in me refering to them as "shiny math rocks".

The problem was, a kid related to him (and as such had the same last name. I think it was his grandson or grand nephew) started going to the school, since it was a very small town and basically everyone went to the same high school. They couldn't just tell him to not sign his last name, so they lifted the ban on writing the name Hendrickson. The next day, the girl's bathroom was absolutely desecrated with people writing threats against the teacher. Even the grandson began absolutely eviscerating him by writing a whole ten page list of the girls he harassed.

When I’d eventually stop the thief, and pull him out of my car and actually look at him, It was ME. I’d then wake up and have an existential crisis every time this happens.
