Words that you CONSCIOUS do not use. I do have some.

I noticed this week that sometimes when people talk I'm surprised listening. Not even because they say crazy things, content, but because they use words I never use myself. I've been thinking about this, and I know I got this from my upbringing. I come from an area where dialect is spoken and my mother (especially) found certain words from the dialect not okay so I was not allowed to use them either. She found enough alternatives. The reason for this was that she didn't think these words were neat, even a little vulgar. I notice that sometimes I'm a little frightened when people use those words and I still don't use those words myself.

Unlike my brother and sisters, she spoke with me not a dialect but Dutch and there were also words that she did not think proper and which she would prefer not to use. Now that I have children, I sometimes notice that I say the same thing to my children. I must confess that when I think about what reason I have for not using certain words, I also have to admit that sometimes I find them too flat, too common or not neat. I also like the alternatives better. In addition, I make sure that I use many different words so that the vocabulary ormy children is larger only the standard words. Also because one word with the same meaning sometimes adds something extra to a sentence. So I correct my children when they use certain words that I find disturbing for whatever reason. Now I also know that the region is bound. When I lived in Rotterdam certain words bothered me less when they were used - oddly enough - than they did before and now do.

For example, I do not like these words and I myself will never use:

puking is ano go(vomiting or vomiting becomes it)

titsorMembs(breasts)
