naughty words
Words requiring soap
Naughty words are terms considered improper or taboo—profanity, obscenity, slurs.
The phrase itself is slightly childish or euphemistic, the kind of thing adults say around children: We don't use naughty words in this house.
The playful tone can make it useful for discussing vulgar language without being vulgar: The movie had some naughty words but nothing too shocking.
