Taboo refers to a cultural or religious practice of avoiding certain behaviors or objects due to their perceived negative effects or associations. It can include prohibitions on eating certain foods, engaging in certain sexual practices, or touching certain objects or people. Sacrifice, penance, and self-flagellation are all related concepts, but they refer to specific religious practices rather than general rules of avoidance.
