adriana asked this question about
Pygmalion:
What swear word is Mrs. Pearce referring to in this passage?
"But there is a certain word I must ask you not to use. The girl used it herself when she began to enjoy the bath. It begins with the same letter as bath. She knows no better: she learnt it at her mother's knee. But she must not hear it from your lips."

My guess is bloody.
