Goddess of Grammar

Sprechen Sie Swiittzerttuuuutsch?

I asked this question (awkwardly, I guess) in Languages and haven't had any helpful answers. There's a word my daughter's not allowed to say at school, something like "u-wer-eh". She says it means "really" or "very" but evidently it means something else as well. What? How bad is it? And sorry for my rudeness!

BTW, you can answer in Languages too if you want more points!

you probably mean "(u)huere". this word is used a lot in Schwiizerdüütsch (mostly together with "guet" or "geil").
your daughter is right, it means indeed really or very.
(u)huere guet = really/very good. the leading "u", spoken or not, depends on the region you are.

but why is she not allowed to say this word at school? very simple reason - "huere" has also another meaning -- "whore" (high german - Hure)
