Swearing on Home and Away

[Miranda]

I know for sure that Casey called Romeo a tosser the other month during the Ruby affair. Or maybe Romeo called Casey a tosser. It was one or the other.

I know this thread is supposed to be discussion pre 2000 but I recall at Alf's 60th Ric referred to Duncan as a tosser.

I don't know if this counts as swearing, as I don't really know what it means..

All the times Alf says "you flamming galah"..

It sounds bad, but I'm not sure..

I believe it's a bird...

I seem to remember in a 1988 episode, Sam Barlow was shouting at his wife and said 'friggin' - I remember watching it with my parents and they nearly choked on their tea! Would be handy if anyone can check that out, if the episode is on YouTube. If it's correct, then I'd say that's pretty strong language for 6.30pm Aus, 5.10pm UK!

Dodge and Adam have said it a few times as well, like at the movie theatre when Steven watched the movies with him and he put petrol all over Morag's house, then when Dodge told little sally to stop making things so friggen hard for him, and more recently I think after Adam put up those shelves.

I don't think that sounds offensive. Actually I think Irene has said that quite a few times over the years.

"Friggin'" is what's known as "mince swearing", a word that is used in place of a swear word but isn't one, like "flipping" or "flaming"(which gets used quite a lot by someone, not sure who...).
