Episode Date: February 3, 2026

EXPLICIT LANGUAGE WARNING On Today's Lil Bitta Pod; We get to say ALLLLL the bad words... You've been warned!!!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the ZDEM Podcast Network, it's Fletchhorn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod, and today, as promised, on the big bit of pod and the radio show, we're going to delve into the Broadcasting Sanders Authority list of naughty words. I think even though this is a fucking podcast. Oh, Haley. Actually, I will start the Little Bit of Pod with a language warning because we are going to delve into the Broadcasting Standards New Series. survey of the most offensive words to New Zealanders, and there will be some foul, I'll say it's some foul language.

Oh, my, fucking art. But we're not going to say them all, because some of it's even too horrendous for a podcast. Absolutely. I just think it's a fascinating read. It's 50 pages. There's no way we can cover all of it. If you go to BSA.Govt.n.z and it'll bring up their website. Scrolly, scrolly, scrolly, scrolly, to me.

News and media releases, public views and offensive language, hardened, racial slurs, less accepted. Click on that, and you'll find the information. They lasted this study, what, five or six years ago. And 2021, so yeah, five. And then this was conducted at the end of last year. Do you think that's what they, when they base their rulings? Do you think they then refer to the current list of words?

They must do. Yes. When dealing with complaints. Yes. But it is weird. And I mentioned this on the big pot on the radio show. There's no real rules for podcasts, is there? Nah.

Whereas radio shows and TV, it's so much more. There are so many more rules. But yet everybody's now. just all listening to podcasts. I've talked about this before, right? In some shows, like late night comedy shows, you literally have a C-U-N-T quota, where for a series,

so say you've got like 10 episodes, they give you a quota on how many times after 8.30pm, that during your season, you can say C-U-N-T. I remember it, wow. Because seven days when it was on late, had two a season? Two a season, and you'd come in to do, you know,

your comedy and they'll be like heads up everyone, we've filled the quota. So no sea bombs. We've hit our seas. Seas. That's amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they have to choose when to use their seas.

Yeah, right. Drop them elegantly. Just an elegant sprinkle. But now that it's on early, you'd never get a sea on. No, Cs. Seven days anymore. No, no. Yeah, right.

Okay. So one of the interesting parts of it was over a quarter of respondents commented of the other offensive terms and phrases. Now, these fall into the categories of race and ethnicity, misogynistic sexism, sexual orientation and gender identity, disability and mental health, general profanity, religion, and other terms. Religion? Yeah.

What's a religious slur? Like Jesus Christ. It's blaspheme. I've got no problem saying Jesus, Jesus Christ for Christ sake, bloody hell, fucking hell, for God's sake, oh my God damn and God botherer. Are they the most offensive? Those are the ones that people added in. What about a Jesus effing Christ? So these are the ones after people ranked the words that the broadcasting standards of, they're like, what have we missed?

What else? The only one of a religious nature that makes the top 30 whatever, Jesus fucking Christ. Oh, yeah. Which is actually up 7% of offensiveness. Really? I would have thought of them would go down. We're a nation that's more or more people that don't identify as religious or have a religion. Yeah.

General profanity, there's none on here. I have a problem with saying. Okay. Shit, bullshit. Fuckwit, wanker. Arse wipe, son of a bitch. Crap, dick, bastard, prick. Wait, you're telling you fuckwit wasn't in the top 30.

Fuckwit's not in the top 30. Unbelievable. So can we say fuckwood on air now? I reckon that. You can't say fuck or asshole or cock or motherfucker or get fucked. But you can say fuckwood. Because it's not, it doesn't, it's the top 30. Do you think that's because on building sites and tradies around the country,

every day would use that at least 10 times? Yeah, that fuckway. I actually really haven't been using fuckwood enough to describe people. It's a real good one. It's great. Do you know that I said fuckwit at primary school once and a teacher heard me and had to write it down on a piece of paper and take it home to my parents and show them. Wow, did you spell it right?

I was doing a character. I was doing a character. I was doing, it was one of my early characters. I was being like a mind reader. And I was telling my friend Liam on shore that this person she was going to fall in love with was a fuckwit. And Mr Simpson walked past and said,

excuse you. And that was it. Excuse you? And I had to write fuck wit on a piece of paper and take it home to Patsy and say, I said this word, you have to sign it. And what did Patsy say?

She said, she had to sign it and I had to bring it back to Mr. Simpson. Where do you get these words from? No, you silly bitch. So other identified terms is another category. I've got no problem saying any of these words. Okay, okay. Fat, fatty, sucker, bugger, crackhead, turd, egghead, naggy, ginger, scumbag and ningong.

Ningong. Someone of these 1,500 people that were surveyed found Ningong offensive enough to mention. That was grandpa, wasn't it? General profoundly religious. So that's very interesting. Who are the most easily offended people? Older Pacifica ladies who are Christian? Yeah, probably.

No, no, I'm telling you, that's the wheelhouse of offensiveness. Oh, yeah, totally. The hardest to offend a young males of no religion. Yeah, yeah. I think they're very hard to offend. If I had to look at this list and I was surveyed, the only things, you know, all the racist stuff, obviously I'd have a problem with, but everything else, I'm just like. Maybe like sexuality. Yeah, yeah, that stuff too.

Because is the D word in there, rhymes with hike? Dildo. No, rhymes of hype. That's actually on the actual. Of most offensive Of offensive Which is also a water Yes

A dam A dam of sorts Is it? Like you put your finger in the dike To stop the leak To stop the lake You do actually There's an old

There's a really So anyway Carlin's shop Carlin his hand over mouth Under race Never put your finger in a dike Say it Unless

The dam will break If I don't plug the dike Also unless we've had a conversation So I'm race and ethnicity I don't feel comfortable with all of them. There are a couple that I do feel comfortable with. Yeah, that's up to you.

Whitey. Whitey. Whitey. Somebody mentioned. Honky on there? Honky is on there. All right. Yes.

Cracker? No, white trash is. Actually, sorry, I have just Googled the water, the dam. Spout different. Both meanings, whether why or an eye. Yeah. And it is probably good that you put your finger in the dike because it will stop flooding because they are generally long waller embankment built to prevent flooding from the sea or a river.

And the minute the water starts getting through the dike, it's going to deteriorate the structure of it. We can't have that. Okay. So, so there's race and ethnicity. Again, you can look up this list. BSA.gov.com. com. I'm not going to read it any of the other ones out because they're not words that I use.

Foreigner is an interesting one. Foreigner. Under race, just sort of the blanket foreigner. Yeah, yeah. You do feel like if you're saying that to someone, it's to out, it's to put them outside. Yeah. It's not a word I would use. No.

Foreigner. Unless I'm talking about the band. Foreigner. Oh my God. Yeah. Go on a song. Let's have a song. Bring on foreigner because of this.

How I know what I love is? You know what I mean? Yeah. I want you to show me. Okay. Wow. That was a bit much. I want to feel.

Yeah, gorgeous. Again, thanks for the Christensen family. No, wait a minute. I pay for my own Spotify. Fuck them. Fuck them. Fuck the Christians. In this instance.

Not fuckwits. Family fuckwits. Actually lovely people. Absolutely, absolutely, actually lovely people. So, misogynistic sexist is, there's some of these I feel comfortable reading out. Okay. For example, skank. As a former skank.

Yeah. You're okay with you saying. I will also say cunt face. Wow. Oh, Maria. Cun face. What is it you cuntface? Oh, Maria, what is it you cunface?

I will say slap. Oh, je. I will say. Slag. No, I will say them out loud as examples of these words. I won't call people this thing. No, neither. I literally walked into work this morning.

He said, sup slag. Okay, so don't distance yourself from it too much. Haley said, fuck what. I said, shut up. Fuck what. So you could have called me stale palin male because some white guy on the phones had to really dig deep to find what he's offended by. I'm sorry, there's a white guy offended by that.

It's racism. Karen is an offensive term now. It's a misogynistic sexist term. Karen. Did that actually make the top list? No, this is somebody's submissions. Do you think that woman is called Karen? That's some, that's some, fuckway.

That's direct from Karen's mouth. Fat bitch. Oh, okay. Dumb blonde. Somebody submitted as being offensive. Small cock. Carry on. Ho.

Ho. Calling someone a ho. Sub hal. And tart. I love tar. I love that someone's offensive word. I know my dad calls me a silly tart sometimes. I love, oh, you silly tart.

So the next subject is the sexual orientation and gender identity. I won't read all of them, but some of them, gay, queer, bent, lesbian. Lesbian's not an offensive term. That's a sexual identity. Yeah, Lesbo. Lesbo is so good. You shut up, you lesbo. Oh, you want to kiss me?

I'm going to skip the left. I'm going to skip the F word. The shortened, the abbreviated version of the long offensive word. Dissue distinction. Poof on the list. Poof. And poofter. Haley actually uses that word quite a lot. She's like, because she's got a poof under her feet.

I can't put my feet on the ground, so I have a little puff under there. Not offensive to have that sort of puff under a foot. I call that more a poof. It is actually a small gay man. It's not a... It's Johnny Boy. Johnny Boy! Say hello to the list is. Hello!

It's my little puff under there. then disability and mental health, stupid idiot, moron. And then some other words that I don't feel comfortable reading. Imbecile, nutcase and loopie. Loopy! Were the words that some people found offensive. This is a rich vein of just... Thank you to the broadcast standards authority for their new study of the most offensive words.

Yes. Thanks to all those buggers. All those twats. Oh, no, you did not. Oh! You silly tarts! Oh! Ah!

Oh!
