Newcastle University is the latest to release a list of forbidden words. 'Pet', a universal endearment much loved across the North East of England is now forbidden...
In some parts of Lancashire UK, a frequent term of endearment or colloquialism is / was ‘cock’. ie ‘Are you ahreet, cock?’ ( are you alright, cock / mate) It’s just a local friendly term. However, in Starmer’s U.K. land, admitting to being anything to do with ‘right’ is practically forboden, so don’t be surprised if a response such as ‘ecky thump’ to anyone taking offence at being addressed as ‘cock’ probably resulting in jail time for expressing violence. Jails are for proper criminals, after all!
