Do You Have A Work Mouth?

‎02-22-2011 04:07 PM

Too funny! The latest word or phrase of the day from the Urban Dictionary is Work Mouth.

And yes, I have one and I'm sure most of it did come from my grandmother. At times I'll drop a word that was popular decades and decades ago... just like the fiddlesticks example below {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Work Mouth

A form of self-censorship practiced at work to avoid offensive or cuss words. Typically includes cuss-replacements you learned from your grandma. Potentially embarrassing if accidentally used outside of work at parties...

May also be used in the company of grandparents, teachers, preachers, and others who disapprove of cussing.

Does not apply to all professions. Musicians and construction workers have no need for a work mouth.

At work:
-Did you just say *censored*?
-Yeah, sorry. I forgot to use my work mouth.

At a party:
-Did you just say fiddlesticks?
-Yeah, sorry. I still have my work mouth on.
