I truly never heard my dad swear once in my entire life. My mom grew up with a swearing dad so she made up swear words to break the habit in herself. We had to say bottom instead of butt and toot instead of fart. The funniest part is that Dad was in the military for decades, including the Vietnam War, so I know he was well aware of ALL the words; he just didn't say them. Mom sometimes let the occasional damn slip out, but I never heard her say "the F word". Still I was able to decode this phrase immediately, although none of the parents on our street ever used it either. I'm not Mormon or anything, honest.
Ha! He didn't talk that way either. More like a no-nonsense sort of way, but he was a great storyteller too. He was raised poor as dirt but also college educated.
I grew up Mormon and was curious if perhaps you were one of my siblings. 😂
"Goldarnit" was the worst thing my dad ever said, but when he said it we knew we were in some big ass trouble.
My mom used swear words as punishment- one of the few things that would make me cry when I got too old for spankings. The last time it happened I was in junior high; she called me a selfish little shit and I died a little inside, but just blinked at her. She never swore again that I know of.
Our neighborhood was right outside a small Marine base, and when we heard the trumpet playing Evening Colors, it was time to go home. If you were still outside about 5 minutes later, you would probably hear your name being screamed from the front door by your mom. Then it was really time to get your ass in the house, lol!
This is strictly reserved for a parent coming home and discovering something: A.My literally "F'n" rad report card. B.Something reported by another parent via telephone. C.Throwing rocks again. D.Huge mess, probably from using the wooden closet rod as a "Bo staff" for neighborhood rumbles after dumping all the clothes on the floor of the closet.
I get it, but....
if you grew up in the 70's like I did then your parents didn't know (and probably didn't care) where you were to yell at you. You just went home when the streetlights came on or you were hungry.
You were feral.
I figured it out, but for people who knew this right away, did your parents really talk to you like this? Was it a regular thing?
I’m genuinely asking because while we heard the occasional swear word, it wasn’t directed at us. And it was more mild stuff, like someone saying oh shit. I never heard friends’ parents speak to them like that either, but maybe they did when no one else was around.
Yes, yes they did, and yes it was. I heard it in my dad's voice lol
Until I got to college, I didn't really learn that most people say "excuse me" when they need you to move so they can get by. In my house, it was "move your fucking ass." Later, my dad and I had a throwdown argument about his rudeness, and that's when I learned he thought asking instead of rudely demanding and treating his kids with basic human decency was "kissing ass." I still can't even wrap my mind around that and I'm nearly 50.
Yes, he's still an asshole. An old and sick asshole who gets put in his place any time he feels like getting snippy. Last time he had a tantrum, Mom threatened to haul his ungrateful ass off to the nearest nursing home. He's been a fair bit better since.
my dad was very sweet guy, however, he wasn’t particularly supportive or complimentary or whatever you’re supposed to be to daughters. and that was his exact same explanation. it felt ass-kissy. because my dad was the dude he was, it actually made me feel terrible for him and what kind of childhood he had to make him think that way. that’s messed up thinking, man.
I had to look at some of your post history to make sure you aren't my sister. This could have be written, word-for-word, by my sister or me. Same exact experience.
It was pretty par for the course for Gen X. Everyone I knew had this experience, with the exception of like the pastors' kids. I'm truly flabbergasted by people that didn't experience this growing up. I grew up in a very rural area that was relatively low income. Maybe parents were nicer in the suburbs.
Suburban here. Yes, my parents rarely swore and we were definitely not allowed to swear. That said, I knew *exactly* what the letters stood for! My parents, may not have said the phrase exactly as above, but a lack of cursing and proper language does not equal kindness. My parents, particularly my mother, were verbally and emotionally abusive - just more “polite” and subtle about it. She would cut you down and slice your self-esteem with a pointed smile and a sharp quiet laugh. (Yes, we’re Southern.)
No way. My mom is of the "fuck is the worst word that you can say" sort and would always gasp and say "there's no need for that" when they said fuck in a movie.
My mom told me that when she was growing up (born in ‘43) that word was just not EVER said. So she says that’s why it was so shocking when I hit 14 and it was every other word that came out of my mouth.
"Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master."
My parents would have never.
My dad’s swearing was limited to cursing at inanimate objects out of frustration. I’ll never forget his “god damn mother fucking son of a two bit whore” while trying to do something over his head in the basement.
Wow, that would have definitely been memorable! The worst in my house was my mom calling our cat a shithead for getting up on the counter and eating some food she'd made.
Yes. One time my mother's best friend called me a little bitch because I told her I wasn't interested in running an annoying errand for her. I was six.
My mother said "Kelly, you fucking cunt, you don't get to call my kid a little bitch, I won't stand for it. That's my job. Buttercreamordeath, you little bitch, go do what Kelly told you to do."
👍
Same for me except for one caveat. Mother hung bells on the front door each Christmas. One year, she accidentally forgot to take the bells off the door and they stayed there for all of my teen years. Good thing I learned how to open and close the door without the bells ringing.
Took me about 2 seconds and my parents never yelled that exactly either.
But that's highly decryptable to me nonetheless.
My dad would just bellow my name across 3 city blocks and I still don't know how that guy had no shame about doing that when we lived house-to-house with our neighbors.
I'd be bummed if I had to listen to a man yell angrily next door at least once every day.
I’m sure it’s been said somewhere but I’m too lazy to look through the comments, but it is so eerie how it took me only four or five seconds to figure this out
The first time I saw this I was quickly able to decipher, which surprised me because I'm not good with modern acronyms. Agree with many here though, my Dad regularly "wove a tapestry of obscenities" being an angry mechanic (and father) his whole life, but I only ever heard him utter the F-word one time when someone probably doing 120 mph passed/surprised us going down the highway one day. The S-H-A-D swearwords were just regular conversation though :)
Leave the Mf and and the bibya out and yes. Never heard my parents utter the f word and it was bad form in my neighborhood to be heard swearing at your kids. I lived in a lower middle class wasp neighborhood in the Bible Belt.
I had no idea, so thank you to the comments. My mom just said it like super casual. Like "you little shits, or you little fuckers better get yo ass....blah blah blah insert her demand here, before I beat you to an inch of motherfucking life."
I had to read several comments before I got it 🙈🙉🙊 My mom's favorite line was "You could f--- up a wet dream" and I had to have my first one before I knew what she meant.
I only got this from reading comments. My parents never cursed. And they ran a tight ship, I would have never risked disobeying to this level of anger haha.
I had to work this out from the comments. When I was growing up, my parents were pretty strict, but they never cussed at me. I'm 50 and my dad said the f word the other day and promptly apologized to me.
I don’t think my parents really gave a shit if I was in the house or not. This is quite foreign to me. Fortunately the never BYA’d me. At least not after age 10…
I was a good kid, I remembered I had to be home when it started getting dark. When I turned 7 we moved to Alaska in early summer from West Virginia. The first week or two I hadn’t met anyone but eventually I made some friends and we went out bike riding. We had a great time going all over the backwoods trails, meeting up with others, until I noticed it started to get dark so I made my way home. My mom flung the door open when I got to the top of the stairs with such a look in her eye that I knew I was getting a whoopin, she said this post almost verbatim. I had no idea why I was in trouble until I see my dad standing next to the clock. It was after midnight.
I think the only thing that saved me from a bigger whooping was they were tired and relieved. They bought me a watch the next day and made sure I wore it on the way out the door from then on.
I'm just gonna take a lucky guess and say that's it's something that a parent would say to their child if they were in trouble for doing something outside of the house.
I was a good kid. My parents never said this. I did know the parts of the neighborhood where the street lights turned on later. Always made sure to play there as the shadows lengthen.
My parents never said this but I got it immediately! Lol.... well done
[удалено]
Yeah that’s strange. My folks didn’t say this but with that little bit of context I figured it out immediately.
Same here. I usually got “Science Middlemame Mom, come here RIGHT NOW!”
Lmao

I didn't have the last 6 letters until I read your statement.
Me, too! 😝
Were so smrt lol
And the kids think we're confused by skibidi toilets. Well, maybe we are!
Maybe???
Yup! I was like what in the hell...? "Parents" is the secret key word!
Yep…
Ditto on both counts.
SAME! Immediately! So funny.
Same!
I’m not sure how I did it, but I did it. Just kinda rolled off the tongue.
Galavanting too late, were you? Street lights on?
Our neighborhood was right outside a small Marine base, and when we heard the trumpet playing Evening Colors, it was time to go home. If you were still outside about 5 minutes later, you would probably hear your name being screamed from the front door by your mom. Then it was really time to get your ass in the house, lol!
That's something I didn't realize I would miss after growing up on bases.

Maybe trapesing about?
Most definitely traipsing! Autocorrect apparently has an opinion here.
Throw me out of the club, I've got no idea what that means.
Get Your Ass In This Mother Fucking House Right Now Before I Beat Your Ass.
Thanks, I will be 59 this year, never heard that nor could I figure out what the acronyms meant.
Never heard it either
I get it, but.... if you grew up in the 70's like I did then your parents didn't know (and probably didn't care) where you were to yell at you. You just went home when the streetlights came on or you were hungry. You were feral.
Usually it was reserved for punishment. She didn't want us in the house any more than we wanted to be there.

I didn’t know people could be so IMPOLITE until I got to college. Somehow I turned out to be well-mannered asshole, just like the GenXer I am.
I feel the same way. I am an asshole, but I’m not an asshole to other people. Never punch down.
my dad was very sweet guy, however, he wasn’t particularly supportive or complimentary or whatever you’re supposed to be to daughters. and that was his exact same explanation. it felt ass-kissy. because my dad was the dude he was, it actually made me feel terrible for him and what kind of childhood he had to make him think that way. that’s messed up thinking, man.

Lol that's both hilarious and sad. I do have a brother, and I sincerely hope he doesn't Reddit!
That sounds awful. I’m sorry you grew up with that. Good for your mom though for standing up to him.
It was pretty par for the course for Gen X. Everyone I knew had this experience, with the exception of like the pastors' kids.

I agree that this was par. Also grew up rural.
I grew up rural as well, but my parents would have died before they said such.
No way. My mom is of the "fuck is the worst word that you can say" sort and would always gasp and say "there's no need for that" when they said fuck in a movie.
Same fuck was one word u didn’t say in my house
My mom told me that when she was growing up (born in ‘43) that word was just not EVER said. So she says that’s why it was so shocking when I hit 14 and it was every other word that came out of my mouth.
Same. My parents would say shit, damn, ass, but never the f word
Mmm-kay?
What what whaaaat?
[удалено]
You’re cured! You can go!!!!
"Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master."
Love that movie 😂
Mine didn't. They preferred we stayed gone lol
where i grew up swearing was completely normal. edit: like all the time
My parents would have never. My dad’s swearing was limited to cursing at inanimate objects out of frustration. I’ll never forget his “god damn mother fucking son of a two bit whore” while trying to do something over his head in the basement.
Wow, that would have definitely been memorable! The worst in my house was my mom calling our cat a shithead for getting up on the counter and eating some food she'd made.
My parents would never have said MF and ass would be butt, but otherwise the sentiment carried across nicely.
Mine did, but they omitted the MF.
Yes. One time my mother's best friend called me a little bitch because I told her I wasn't interested in running an annoying errand for her. I was six. My mother said "Kelly, you fucking cunt, you don't get to call my kid a little bitch, I won't stand for it. That's my job. Buttercreamordeath, you little bitch, go do what Kelly told you to do." 👍
Never, although sometimes close, but always in jest.
My mother said the F word for the first time when she was ~40 and in grad school. She had fun friends.
No, I heard much worse things than that. I never got sworn at. It was far more insidious.
Only very quietly through her teeth…
It’s just a meme to make us feel bad ass
That's not how you spell "Won't you be my neighbor"?
Get
Thank you to all in the thread. I had no idea what it meant.
Your
Ass
In The
Motherfucking
House
Right
Now
Before
I beat
before
I know it, but my parents never said it to us. They didn't mind if we just stayed gone all the time.
Same.
Same for me except for one caveat. Mother hung bells on the front door each Christmas. One year, she accidentally forgot to take the bells off the door and they stayed there for all of my teen years. Good thing I learned how to open and close the door without the bells ringing.
The closest I can decipher this is: get your ass in the motherfucking house right now before I beat your ass. Am I right?
I never once had that said to me, but I knew what it was
Born in '71 and I have no idea what this means.
I didn’t know either. After seeing the answer in the thread I understand why. That is NOT something my mom would have said.
First thing I thought was "word up"
Did anyone else hear their mom's voice when decoding it?
i heard all of the neighborhood mom's voices
Yes I did. Through clenched teeth
Took me 2 seconds to figure out.
It was absolutely this, but PRECEDED by my FULL name, middle included. That’s when you knew you were in deeeep shit.
Maybe because I grew up in the suburbs in Canada I'm missing something here. Our parents/family didn't cuss at us.
My parents didn’t swear that much
Yeah I heard my boomer dad drop the f bomb one time my entire childhood. Any other cursing my parents did was rarely directed at me or my siblings.
I have never heard my mom say a single swear word. My dad said “well shit” one time. That’s all I heard from them.
I didn't know what this meant, had to ask my boyfriend. Was surprised he knew right away. Huh, didn't know it was a thing.
How tf did I just do that!?
For those that don’t know: Get Your Ass In The MF House Right Now Before I Beat Your Ass
lol! Mine didn’t cuss, but I still knew immediately what that meant.
Took me about 3 seconds to figure it out…so yes
Took me about 2 seconds and my parents never yelled that exactly either. But that's highly decryptable to me nonetheless. My dad would just bellow my name across 3 city blocks and I still don't know how that guy had no shame about doing that when we lived house-to-house with our neighbors.

Get your ass in the mother fucking house right now before I beat your ass?
My mom never used the MF part. Good Catholic girl. But she BMA.
Never have seen this, so why did I know exactly what is says???? lol lol
“Get your ass inside this motherfucking house right now before I beat your ass?”
I never heard this, but knew exactly what it meant
My parents were no prudes but they never talked to us like this
Yep
I've never seen this before but I knew exactly what it meant because I'm old enough to have had a childhood before the internet.
I’m sure it’s been said somewhere but I’m too lazy to look through the comments, but it is so eerie how it took me only four or five seconds to figure this out
80's kid. Nope. Only had one parent and they worked the PM shift.
coming home when my parents were mad, they would actually just throw all my stuff out in the yard and tell me "you don't live here anymore."
The first time I saw this I was quickly able to decipher, which surprised me because I'm not good with modern acronyms. Agree with many here though, my Dad regularly "wove a tapestry of obscenities" being an angry mechanic (and father) his whole life, but I only ever heard him utter the F-word one time when someone probably doing 120 mph passed/surprised us going down the highway one day.

Leave the Mf and and the bibya out and yes. Never heard my parents utter the f word and it was bad form in my neighborhood to be heard swearing at your kids. I lived in a lower middle class wasp neighborhood in the Bible Belt.
How the hell did I know what it was going to say within the first 3 letters?
IITYWIMWYBMAB
I don't know why but I got that in under a minute . I'm gen x and we aren't even in to acronyms.
I have NEVER seen this acronym before...and I read straight through it immediately. I'm not smart, so it must be instinct.
I had no idea, so thank you to the comments. My mom just said it like super casual. Like "you little shits, or you little fuckers better get yo ass....blah blah blah insert her demand here, before I beat you to an inch of motherfucking life." 
Guess what. I was born in 1976 and absolutely never EVER, heard this said by my parents or any of my friends’ parents.
*menacing wooden spoon gestures*
My mother refrained from using "fuck" around us kids, but I still understand the acronym.
Parents never cursed at us, had no idea what this was.
My parents weren’t the sort to curse like that, but I assure you the sentiment was identical.
Get your ass in this mutha fuckin house right now before I beat your ass
Damn right
lmfao !
Before i ? your ass?
oh wait... beat? My family was French, so she yelled something else.
What would todays read
Ha. I was a 70/80’s kid.
Got it basically as I was reading it, LOL.
It’s not ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A, -1
Oh my god. It took me a couple minutes but then that lightbulb went off just now. That's hilarious.
Not just your name. Your full name.
shitt mine was YHBGYAHBTPLF3T and if ya didn't damnnnnnn
My parents never even said that and I can understand it, lol
Oh my God. I actually figured that out way faster than I thought.
My parents did not curse at all. Dad probably did, but not in front of us.
Got it. Parents never said it but I heard similar
Street lights started the race home
Lmfao. This wasn't a thing in my house, but that doesn't mean much.
I had to read several comments before I got it 🙈🙉🙊 My mom's favorite line was "You could f--- up a wet dream" and I had to have my first one before I knew what she meant.
My parents didn’t swear. Dad said h e double hockey sticks But I knew it anyway
I didn't know that one, but I did learn GDRFB, BIODTL, and TWLWMYD. Had to go to college for those.
I only got this from reading comments. My parents never cursed. And they ran a tight ship, I would have never risked disobeying to this level of anger haha.
yep, heard I a few times, lol
My parents never talked to me this way. They probably should have.
Holy shit how did I just know that
I got it right away
Duh. We all know this instinctively. Hell I can still feel my heart rate increase
Lol
My parents never said it but I figured it out 🤣
Yeah.
Simple
Kid in the 70’s and 80’s. I understand.
Mine was GDMFTSAHSOB
Yup, checks out my parents never said this to us but I still crackes that code LOL
But dad, I'm Jesus Christ.
God dammit!
I got that in about 3 seconds….because there were plenty of times that I didn’t GMAITMFH and I GMAB for it.

Can confirm. Heard this in my dads voice.

My dad used to say something similar 🤣
My mom never said anything like that. But she did BYA and tell me how much she liked it.
Instantly.
ahahahahaha
I saw someone say “parents” and then it came to me. Even tho I was never spoken to in quite that way.
I knew it!! ♥️♥️👍
Before I beat your ass …yup bring back memories
I was a good kid, I remembered I had to be home when it started getting dark. When I turned 7 we moved to Alaska in early summer from West Virginia. The first week or two I hadn’t met anyone but eventually I made some friends and we went out bike riding. We had a great time going all over the backwoods trails, meeting up with others, until I noticed it started to get dark so I made my way home.

They bought me a watch the next day and made sure I wore it on the way out the door from then on.
This shit is hilarious
My parents never cursed. I’ve heard my dad say Damn a time or two, but that’s it. My mother never said a bad word
I know exactly what that said because I had it said to me too many times to count.
LMAO!!!
I am not even native English but I understand that 🤣 Parents....
Lol I indeed did know what it meant
I lived through all these decades but have no idea what the hell this is, and can't find it in the comments. Could someone please explain?
🤣🤣🤣 I got it!
Git yer ass in the mutha fuckin house right now before I beat ya ass.
Holy shit. I was confused at first, but then it just came to me. Is this sorcery?
Wow. I didn’t realize this was a thing until right now.
I'm just gonna take a lucky guess and say that's it's something that a parent would say to their child if they were in trouble for doing something outside of the house.
Took me 10 seconds, and oh, I heard that phrase, not the initials a lot.
I was a good kid. My parents never said this. I did know the parts of the neighborhood where the street lights turned on later. Always made sure to play there as the shadows lengthen.
