Unlike that nice Mr Blackburn on Radio 1, there were adverts for all kinds of mystifying and fascinating items. Inevitably my questions about tampons and durex cast a cloud over sunday dinner, and found my brother subject to a "what have you been saying to him" inquisition.<br /><br />My earliest recollection of being embarrased at something on tv was a "love scene" with Sarah Miles(?) in, I think, Ryan's Daughter. I was old enough to know that "rude things" were happening and, correctly, read my parents intense stillness as mortification.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03799894229055390798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-13520505921079599932010-09-07T14:50:41.063+01:002010-09-07T14:50:41.063+01:00I can remember not knowing what a '69' was...I can remember not knowing what a '69' was (someone at school had mentioned it) and asking my mum!londonleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431179744928331353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-22456504297558942942010-09-07T13:52:53.058+01:002010-09-07T13:52:53.058+01:00My two (10 and 13) have a similar take on uncomfor...My two (10 and 13) have a similar take on uncomfortable (for me anyway) moments of viewing or listening. Times where my dad would have tutted, I would have blushed and mum would have left the room to make some tea, they will happily highlight, underline and bold any contributions I may have missed 'Can you hear what they're singing to the referee?' 'Did you hear what he just said ?'Mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-9773242090090492122010-09-07T12:20:10.379+01:002010-09-07T12:20:10.379+01:00My wife works in a college and her students (16-18...My wife works in a college and her students (16-18) are every ethnicity you can imagine and spend a lot of their lessons hurling racist comments at each other.<br /><br />Stuff that caught my ear recently was describing a Nokia phone as a "refugee phone" and "your dad send those spam emails from Nigeria."<br /><br />I enjoy these daily updates on the language of the youth. Another one I like is calling where you live your "ends" as it's where you end up when you get the bus home.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891781037248090988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-47817874531947708292010-09-07T08:41:08.696+01:002010-09-07T08:41:08.696+01:00It is merely the taboos that have changed - bet th...It is merely the taboos that have changed - bet they are embarrassed by casual racism these days.Blackacrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808024417861534968noreply@blogger.com
