Kids and bad language

[Baconzoo]

My three year old uses words like,
"Cool Man"
"Epic"
"Awesome"
"Radical"

which I like. but when introducing him to words like "that sucks" or "fricken" where sould I draw the line?

They are words I use daily and their better than the obvious ones.....

"Daddy, that method was fricken awesome!"

when you say something "sucks" do you ever think about what that particular phrase actually means.... and if you'd want to explain that to your three-year-old? could you sit down and have a conversation with a kid that young about what sucking a dick means, why anybody would suck a dick, etc, etc, etc.

doesn't seem appropriate for some reason, eh? maybe i'm just overly-conservative, but i don't think kids that young should have thoughts and ideas like that floating around in their heads.

I don't think its too much of a concern. I remember saying "sucks" long before I actually knew of its connotations to sucking a dick.

[acostiga]

thank you for further illustrating my point, seldon.

[Baconzoo]

that sucks the fun right out of it.

sucking the life out of me.

I've thought of explaining it to him that way, no penis involved.

Sucking penis can be a good thing for the receiver! Not a bad thing.

Draw the line?

If junior is going to be exposed to words that will enrich his vocabulary, just make sure he uses them correctly and in the right context. Don’t just allow him to throw out the occasional “fuck” or “suck”. Make sure he expands upon what is trying to be described or conveyed. As an example, allowing him to use the phrase “Dad, that sucks” is not very descriptive, nor is it allowing him to put forth any real creative imagery or illustration. He should, in fact, elaborate upon that, “Holy fucking shit Dad! That sucks major goat cock!” You will notice, in the second phrase that more attention is given to detail, description and emotion.

As for context, just make sure that if he is using a word like “whore”, he actually means to use whore. Tell him to ask himself, “is this bitch getting paid?” If so, then yes, whore is the correct term. If not, then the word “slut” would probably be more appropriate. It is your job to teach him the difference in these areas.

Epic explination you fricken bean whacker. That's just what I was looking for.

Was I just insulted? If so, you prolly should have used the phrase "Fucking cock smoker". Much more descriptive and insulting.

[Baconzoo]

no insult, "the bean" is also refered to as "the little man on the boat" which is an honor to whack to and fro.

Thank you for your advice, it was consice and funny.

This is the kid I raising (WMV9 sorry MACs)

If he asks you "what does suck mean?", tell him to stop asking so many fucking questions.
