Honestly, I can't recall the specific bad word Ralphie utters. Maybe it's something that's not too obvious or common.
I'm not sure exactly. You might need to rewatch the movie to catch the specific word.
No, Ralphie did not say the n - word in A Christmas Story.
No, Ralphie didn't say the N word in A Christmas Story.
Ralphie's lines in the movie were quite diverse. One that stands out is 'Only I didn't say 'fudge.' I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the 'F-dash-dash-dash' word!'
Ralphie nervously said to Santa, 'All I want for Christmas is a Red Ryder carbine action 200-shot range model air rifle!'
Ralphie wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. That's his main wish throughout the story.
Ralphie wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas.
Well, Ralphie has his heart set on getting a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. It's all he can think about!
Ralphie covers himself with a blanket to stay warm on Christmas.
One of the things she could have said was related to mealtime. Maybe something like 'Eat your dinner, Ralphie' or 'No dessert until you finish your vegetables'. Mothers in that time were very much about making sure their children were well - behaved and well - fed. And given Ralphie's penchant for getting into little bits of trouble here and there, his mother's words were always there to pull him back to the right path, whether it was about his Christmas wish or just his general behavior.
