Line 22:
* ''Sisterhood'' series by [[Fern Michaels]]: ''Collateral Damage'' has [[FBI]] director Elias Cummings threaten this sort of punishment to Daniel Winters for throwing four-letter words around.
* ''[[The Catcher in The Rye]]'': Holden Caulfield tries asking Ward Stradlater if Stradlater gave Jane Gallagher the time. That, by the way, is ''old'' slang for having sex with someone. Stradlater responds "What a thing to say. Want me to wash your mouth out with soap?"
* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series, casting the cleaning spell ''Scourgify'' on a human will result in their mouth being washed out with soap. James Potter used it this way on Snape in the "Snape's Worst Memory" flashback from ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (novel)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]''.
* The autobiography of Aileen Porter, ''[[Papa Was A Preacher]]'', tells about how she got her mouth scrubbed out with soap for saying "I'll be John Brown" within her father's hearing.
