Wartime Profanities Act
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
“Bally Heck you silly Bar Steward, put that blooming light out or the flipping Hun will see you Muddyfunster!”
~ Concerned ARP warden
The Wartime Profanities Act was passed in the British Houses of Parliament in April 1940. The Act was designed to ration swearing, allowing a greater number of swear words to be uttered by the armed forces. Swearing was severely rationed to one swear word a week per person, and a set of new 'Utility' Profanities were introduced by the Ministry of Insults and Profanities to be used in place of the now rationed swear words.
[edit] Utility Swear Words
- Bally/Blooming = Bloody
- Heck = Hell
- Flip = Fuck
- Sugar = Shit
- Muddyfunster = Motherfucker
- Bar Steward = Bastard
- Country Boy/Girl = Cunt
- Twit = Twat
In emergencies, extra swearwords could be purchased with ration vouchers. However, these words, which included "Egad", "gadzooks", "zounds" and so forth, tended to be so antiquated that one could say them in front of the vicar, rendering them less than adequate. Bollocks.

Don't be a sweary Mary! Leave Shit and Cunt for the men on the front. |
