That infamous "tattoo": Learn why taboo & booze come with the word
...
Chronicling his first voyage, Cook wrote, “Both sexes paint their Bodys, Tattow, as it is called in their Language. This is done by inlaying the Coulour of Black under their skins, in such a manner as to be indelible.” (Cook also separately introduced “taboo” into the English language, borrowed from the Tongan’s “tabu.”)
...

"ta-bu" = "sacred" from "ta" = "mark" (= "Zeichen", "Markierung") + "bu" "especially" (= "besonderes").

"Taboo" is played in two teams against the clock. The object is to get your teammates to guess the word on your card without using any of the taboo words also given on the card. The opposing team must buzz to catch you out if you do. Can you describe "wristwatch" without mentioning "time", "wrist", or "clock"? Find out in this fast-paced, fun game.

TABOO
Also "tabu", "tapu", "kapu" ; a prohibition of acts and/or contacts dangerous to the doer and his or her group.

Captain James Cook first heard the word in 1777 at Tonga and found the idea of "taboo" even more prevalent on the Sandwich Islands. Cook discovered that the term had wide usage among various groups in the South Pacific, signifying that a thing is forbidden. Violation of some taboos was punishable by death. When social scientists began the study of religions, the term was used to indicate the cautions set up by groups to guard against behavior or objects thought to be spiritually dangerous.

More Names, More Games

The third Name Game is the best of the lot, and is generally the one I'm referring to when I mention "the Name Game." A similar game has been marketed under the name Celebrity Taboo, but as with most attempts to box and market a parlor game, Taboo isn't as much fun as the original.

In Polynesian "tapu" means "sacred" and means "certain laws and rules in society".

The Sweetest Taboo - by Sade

Emotions, Taboos and Profane Language

Abstract

Translating the cultural terms can be a difficult task. Facing cultural differences in translation, Nida (1964, p. 130) believes in equal importance to both linguistic and cultural differences between the SL and the TL and concludes that "differences between cultures may cause more severe complications for the translator than do differences in language structure". Taboos are the cultural terms, translation of which is definitely difficult and controversial to some translators. This difficulty may be because of the differences between different cultures, religions, and beliefs. There are different ways to translate a taboo from one language into another one. This paper suggests some ways to translate the taboos. Some issues that must be under consideration in this way will be discussed too. The researcher applies some examples in the languages of English and Persian to make the statements more clear. The paper can be helpful to the translators especially the amateur ones having some choices on the front to translate the taboo terms in different texts. It can help the students whose major is translation studies too. It gives them some ideas and ways to consider in their translations.

Tabu Search (W3)

In the tabu search category of meta-heuristics, the essential idea is to "forbid" search moves to points already visited in the (usually discrete) search space, at least for the upcoming few steps. That is, one can temporarily accept new inferior solutions, in order to avoid paths already investigated. This approach can lead to exploring new regions of , with the goal of finding a solution by "globalized" search. "Tabu search" has traditionally been applied to combinatorial optimization (e.g., scheduling, routing, traveling salesman) problems. The technique can be made, at least in principle, directly applicable to continuous global optimization problems by a discrete approximation (encoding) of the problem, but other extensions are also possible (Glover and Laguna 1997, Osman and Kelly 1996, Voss, et al. 1999).

How Tattoos Work
Not too long ago, most Americans associated tattoos with sailors, bikers and sideshow artists. But tattoos have become more popular in recent years, and the people who get them are as diverse as the styles and designs they choose. And some people who would never think of tattooing pictures or symbols onto their bodies use permanent make-up - a type of tattoo - to emphasize their eyes and lips.
In this article, we'll look at how the tattoo process works and examine the safety and legal issues surrounding it.

Now, a mere seven years later, you have a shot at a terrific job in banking, still one of the more conservative businesses around, and you are concerned that your symbol of youthful self-expression could create problems in your new career.
