I remember in Junior school the teacher telling us that we shouldn't use swear words otherwise she would wash our mouths out with carbolic soap. My so-called friend told her that I used the word 'blooming' a lot in a way that made it sound like a swear word, and so I was threatened with the carbolic soap treatment if I continued to do so. I think the teacher was looking forward to extracting the punishment to offenders.....

.....she would have a ball these days!
