| Refs: | daijs, gg5 I don't think "taboo" is a very good translation, though it's in GG5 (and probably plenty other dictionaries). Take this phrase for example, which I came across in a friend's FB post: "病院選びで妥協は禁物です。" or one of daijs' examples: "病気に酒は禁物だ" |

| Comments: | daijs has a sense 2: ２ 好ましくないもの。嫌いなもの。
but I couldn't come up with a good non-literal translation ("thing one doesn't like") |
