The other day, while among children, I exclaimed, "Oh man!" to which one of the children replied, "You just said a bad word." I thought I had heard incorrectly and kept going on my merry way when, for some reason I said, "Oh man!" once more. And once again, the child told me that I had committed an offense. "'Man' is a bad word?" I asked. "Yep," my question was answered.
I guess this means I'll have to change my "Oh man!" to "Yip skip!" or something.

ha ha ha! oh mensch. sheer hilarium.
really? that is so interesting. I should probably stop saying it then. I don't mean to offend.
haha........I hope that child is not my son......I don't really like Brennan say that because he will repeat it 100+ times and think it's funny/silly. I don't think it means anything mean or rude. I just want to ask him to stop saying it, so I have to tell him it's bad...hahaha.....but of course, now when he hears someone says that, he will "correct" them, just like "oh, my gosh", he will tell he/she the correct way to say" oh, my goodness" ....hahaha
That's hilarious! I thought for sure you'd be safe with oh man. I can't wait to hear you say yip skip! lol
profane Ashley...just doesn't go!
I'm totally on your side...what a strange child. :)
Please, you know sayin "Oh Man" sounds like "Stick it to the Man" which implies "stick it" which implies "sticky food" which implies "foo-foo" and that is almost close to a bad word!
