What does the word “taboo” mean??
“Taboo” means “frowned upon or prohibited by society as unacceptable.” Something that is taboo is considered off-limits for public discussion. The word can be used for any forbidden topic or practice. Though Dr. Phil wasn’t referring to this, Taboo is also the name of a board game wherein a player must describe an object (adjective, etc.) without using a list of certain forbidden words. The word “taboo” originally comes from a Polynesian language.
