What is verboten?

Verboten is a German word meaning "prohibited" or "forbidden". In English, it is often used to describe something that is strictly prohibited or taboo, often due to ethical, moral, or legal reasons. Verboten can refer to actions, behaviors, speeches, or objects. For example, smoking in a non-smoking area is verboten, as is stealing or committing murder. Some countries have strict laws regarding alcohol, drugs, and other substances, making them verboten in certain situations or locations. The term is also used in BDSM culture to indicate limits or boundaries that should not be crossed during a scene.
