Is "Pissed" a Bad Word?

[My4SunshineGirlsNY]

Taking a poll, do you consider "pissed" a bad word rated up there with the "F" word and "S" word?

I keep things respectful around my house and I always believed pissed rated among not nice words like stupid or shut up but not really really bad words as above.

What is your view??

I added the poll for you!

I think it is a bad word and I would never allow my DCK's or my own children to use it. Nor would I say it in front of daycare children or parents as it sounds bad IMHO.

I think it is kind of one of those words that just makes a person not sound so professional...kwim?

I voted yes. I was raised that piss is the bad word for pee as Sh!t is the bad word for poop.

Either way you slice it, I wouldn't want my kids saying it.

I think it's about like stupid and shut up to me but I don't allow my children or dck's to say it. I don't even let them say "crap" even though I've had one that constantly likes to say that one. I just don't think it ranks with the "f" word or some of the other really bad words. That's just my opinion though for what it's worth

I vote yes..... I am not allowed to say this word, kids should not say it either.

I tell my kids I will only use words that I would expect to hear from you and this is one of them....

To me this word has two meanings...In USA it means you are very mad, slang
and in my home country it means that you are very drunk on beer, again slang.

Neither of these I think is the right way to teach a child. If a child is angry it is ok, but teach them kind words to express their anger. AND the other one, well you should never talk to kids about being drunk....

it's not acceptable in my house by children, or in front of children. But, it's not a cuss word, just a disrespectful word.

I voted depends because I don't consider it a "bad" word like some others but it is not a polite word. I definitely would not allow the kids to say it nor would I ever say it in front of them.

This exactly.

I rank pissed up there with crap and shut up. Just rude. I say it, but not around the kids. And yes, I'm a hypocrite, but I expect that neither my own kids or any of the daycare kids keep respectful language in the house.

[AfterSchoolMom]

I voted yes, though I don't think it ranks up there with the "f" or "s" words. I say it, but try not to in front of my kids, NEVER in front of other people's kids, and don't let mine say it.

I voted no but I still wouldn't allow it. Here we have a difference between "Bad words" and "toilet words". Bad words are super No no words and that require that I tell the parents that their child said it such as A**, S***, F*** etc. (I bleeped out the words myself ).

Then we have "toilet words" that are still unkind or ill-manered that they are still not allowed to use but they don't get into as much trouble for. These are things like shut up, butt-head, stupid, pissed and others depending on how they are used. For example the kids can say they have to go poop but they can't call someone a poop KWIM.

I thin it is a not nice word and would ask the DCK not to use that language at my house.

[momofboys]

I voted yes. I was raised that piss is the bad word for pee as Sh!t is the bad word for poop.

Either way you slice it, I wouldn't want my kids saying it.

ITA - my sentiments exactly!

hmmm, I obviously don't have it in the cencored list.

I agree
