People still stare, but usually due to wonder at why the child selects a word not in current usage for the past 3 generations.

The baltspawn know that fuck is not an acceptable word. They do not use it in ordinary conversation. However, they love to steer any conversation to include a discussion about a kid at school who uses the word extensively, at which point one can expect a lengthy diatribe as to why the kid is bad for saying "fuck" and a listing of the times he said "fuck" (and "stinky poopy head" - a curse which seems to have much more real meaning to everyone involved), an assurance that no one else says "fuck" in class, etc., the result of which is hear the word "fuck" or "fucking" from the mouth of a three year old about 50 times in a three minute period. A couple of times a day. All in a way that's difficult to argue with.
