    Do I hear NixOS mentioned?

    [–] HouseWolf@pawb.social 35 points 1 day ago

    My entire school had a banned words list they put on a board near the main door.

    I remember walking in past the board one morning only to get pulled back by a friend, he didn't say anything just stood pointing at the board....They added 'Milf' to the list of banned words.

    Not allowing Miku Miku Beams is reasonable tbh. Firing one of those off can level cities.

    [–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Niagara Falls and Nebraska. Any children whose names start with N - sorry little Neighthan, Nanceigh, and Naruto.

    Looks like they banned how to use image editing software as well.

    I manhandle Manjaro.

    [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 day ago (3 children)

    It says words, not phrases. So you're not allowed to use "I," "use," "by," "the," "way," or "and."

    [–] 8osm3rka@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (5 children)

    The concept of "banned words" (other than the offensive stuff, of course) in a classroom is so funny to me. There is no way that the person who came up with that wasn't the sourest loser ever.

    [–] JustTesting@lemmy.hogru.ch 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Plus kids will find a way. Our english teacher didn't want us to say 'shit', but to use 'sugar' instead.

    There was a lot of 'bullsugar' and similar in that class.

    [–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

    I remember that the vice principal of our Christian high school was annoyed with us saying 'gosh darn', and made the mistake of telling us, "If you're going to say 'gosh darn', you might as well say 'god damn', because that's what you really mean, and the Lort knows your heart."

    ... We all just started flat-out saying 'god damn' like we were told.

    [–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

    yeah this just basically "come up with a bunch new things that'll annoy us"

    [–] Vitaly_Chernobyl@sopuli.xyz 29 points 1 day ago (3 children)

    Try teaching middle school. You’ll understand. That being said, teachers mostly do this as a joke.

    [–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    I'm a school bus driver and we're supposed to not allow foul language. It's only a problem on the middle school runs, and it's not really worth the effort on my part to do anything about it. I'm just happy when I can unload all the kids and nothing has been set on fire.

    School bus driving--- Mixing truck driving with zoo keeping.........

    Good Luck out there! Keep your sanity! I'm pulling for you!

    School bus drivingβ€” Mixing truck driving with zoo keeping…

    That's a great description - except zoo keepers have bars and glass plates to protect them from the animals.

    I always assumed (hoped) these were put up as jokes by the teachers. "Dang it Jeremy that's another one for the board!" type of banter.

    [–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

    It often is. Teachers understand those kids need to have something that they can call their own. Every generation does these things with language.

    But I'm sure there are some teachers out there that foolishly try to squash the words.

    This must be out of date, there's no big back or turning Ohio or anything. Not even a "ACkShuLly it's GNU...."

    [–] theblips@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

    Ohio is ancient, nay! Prehistoric compared to tralalero tralala

    [–] dustyData@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

    My friend, sorry to break it to you. But you are the one out of date. Big back and turning Ohio are long gone. Those kids are already on the β€œI'm too cool to like my childhood things anymore” stage.
