Verboten

/by

Verboten is an adjective in German meaning forbidden, as it is the past participle form of the verb verbieten which means to forbid. It often appears on German signs indicating something is prohibited, banned, or otherwise not allowed.  The term is used in informal English, possibly with humorous emphasis, to say something is very forbidden or prohibited.
