Something that is viewed as forbidden by society’s standards and therefore is rarely talked about openly. Some are less taboo then they were in the past and some are more then ever taboo. And while most have to do with sex, some taboos have to do with food, and others beliefs, and all of them will bring a conversation to a dead stop if you bring them up because these are all things most people do not what to talk about. Example’s of modern day taboo’s: cannibalism; incest; pedophilia; necrophilia; bestiality; miscegenation; adultery; nudity; masturbation; homosexuality; bisexuality; anal sex; having a fetish;BDSM; pornography; rape; suicide; drug addiction; divorce; depression; death; AIDs; cancer; racism; eating dogs, cats, horses and other pets; eating insects such as weevils and maggots; drinking blood; using certain four letter words; menstruation; religion; one’s political views, and how much money you make.
Something that is generally not talked about. A topic that makes people unforfortable like death, cancer, AIDS, child prostitution, inner family rape...

1. (Original meaning) "Sacred" - something too sacred in fact for it to be allowed to be profaned by the common people. 2. The exact opposite of Sacred - something that is too profane for the common herd!
pretty common shit nowadays...
An amazing board game made by none other than Hasbro: Time is against you. You know what you'd like to say if you could only find the words. But some thins in life are strictly ... TABOO. Example: How do you get your team to say the word BIRTHDAY ... if you can't say the words HAPPY, ANNIVERSARY, CANDLES, PRESENT or CAKE? You might say: "Friends and family sing to you once each year," or "You celebrate this event by blowing out a fire on top of a frosted dessert." Or you might hum the well-known tune until your team shouts, "Birthday!" Each time your team shouts out the secret word, you get a point. But be careful! Your opponents will be looking over your shoulder, making sure you don't say of the TABOO words. Because if you do and they catch you, they sound the buzzed and score the point! TABOO ...it's unspeakable fun.
