[quote=Anonymous]I prefer my kids not to say it and even if they do when I'm not around, they know they had better not around any adults. It's crass and yes, I think of it's sexual origins when I hear it. So basically I tell my kids that if they are going to say or do something that others may find offensive, they are just going to have to own it and live with the consequences. Sometimes it's not a big deal and it's an uptight person whose opinion may not matter to them (like a random stranger in a store.) However sometimes it's a more consequential person (maybe someone who hired them to babysit and now will not ask them back) so they have to deal with the natural consequences. OP - in this case you DD may lose a friend over her word choice. It's her call whether it's worth it or not.[/quote]
