Bloomin

Word that causes parents to suffer apoplexy when their toddlers learn it from their grandfathers and they subsequently look up the definition in Urban Dictionary

Not to be confused with a regional pronunciation of “blooming” as made popular by Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas, which is a harmless colloquial ejaculation of frustration.

My child said “bloomin” and I’m worried everyone will think he’s referencing a fictional use of the word which involves a ludicrously specific sex act never performed in the history of human sexual intercourse
