Maybe not a swear word as such but this did give me a jolt. Following GB's success in gymnastics at Rio overnight, the BBC had various gymnastics on show outside their building. This also included some little girls giving examples of their routines. An interviewer also chatted to one eleven year old girl to explain a particular routine . The child said you do such and such and lift your 'bum' not bottom but bum. My granddaughters don't use this word, don't hear from us . If they did we would put them right pdq. So did this come from home or worse their trainers ? I know it might seem silly but to me it's the slippery slope to worse language to come .
