Holly: I bet you don't know what it MEANS.

wow, some ppl here seem to be a bit tense! This is just a game and a variation of it has always been a part of kids’ lives, everywhere. The words change, some lose their bite, others take their place but the forbidden has always been exciting and interesting. The playing of the game does NOT necessarily mean the children will be using the words to demean others.
I wouldn’t dream of telling them off for the game. (and no, my kids don’t swear, as a matter of fact my 10 year old told his friend off the other day for swearing over a computer game).
