ex name taboo

Derived from the cultural anthropology term "death name taboo," an ex name taboo is the reluctance of friends and family to mention the name of an ex, typically replacing the ex's name with emphasized pronouns.

Nydia: "David, I still have HER pan..."
David: "Dude, relax, you can say 'Liz's pan.' There's not an ex name taboo on our breakup."

Mirayashi Taboo

The act of a man sitting in the lap of naked woman whilst eating an apple. She proceeds grind fruitlessly at the rear end of the male whilst his erection remains anadorned by any physical attention thus perpetuating a no-win scenario.

“Jim, you look upset”
“Yeah, Henry, I had another go at the Mirayashi taboo last night”
“No luck, Jim?”
“I’m going to beat this one day, I don’t believe in a no-win scenario”

Gamer Taboos

Gamer Taboos are the backbone of the average gamer's life. If but one of these are broken, the gamer will never live up to his previous peak again. The Gamer Taboos are as follows:
1. Gamers may not speak to women
2. Gamers must avoid basic hygiene at all costs
3. Gamers may not traverse within 50 ft (~15 meters) of grass, unless financially necessary (Family related instances are not allowed, unless you are Vin Diesel in the flesh.)
4. Gamers must go to sleep at a time past midnight
5. Don't use Reddit (Use of Reddit for valuable information is allowed.)

Gamer 1 - "Ayo, brb. I'm finna take a shower."
Gamer 2 - "Nah bro, don't do it; that's one of the Gamer Taboos."
Person 1 (Formerly Gamer 1) - "Hell naw, that's gross as hell." *leaves*
Gamer 2 - "smh my head."

taboo game

A game in which dirty words are said at an increasingly loud volume between players. Once someone cannot say the word any louder out of embarrassment, the other person wins.

Do you want to play the taboo game?

No my mom will let at me if I talk like that here.

taboo bait

A work of fiction, be it anime, manga, novel, movie or whatever, that uses a controversial subject/elements to gain attention. It doesn't attempt to bring discussion or tell a serious story, but rather tries to lure in people only to make them pay money for a mediocre piece of entertainment.

The majority of love stories revolving around incest are nothing more than taboo bait. When will the society finally grow up and take this issue seriously ?

taboo

adj. Prohibited and violating social custom or sacredness, and thus not to be spoken of or disturbed. If someone mentions, defiles, or profanes something taboo, they likely will be frowned upon, shamed, or cursed.

n. A subject or entity which is taboo.

Taboo subjects such as racism and murder are widely considered inappropriate and evoke strong emotional responses.

The taboo of anti-Semitism has been ingrained in my mind, so I am annoyed by it being used as a plot device in so many movies.
