I feel like 7 might understand things a bit better but I know what you mean.
I have explained to the kids that some people don't appreciate those terms
and they have obliged.
It is kind of annoying to hear "Butt Sex" for hours on end though just
because the "can" in front of me :)

And THAT's the ore important thing---the respect for others'
sensitivities. It's really not so much the words ('cause they're just
words) as it is others' feelings.

Yeah---but hearing *anything* for hours on end is annoying. Try
"Daffodil" <BWG> Understanding *that* is important as well.

If something my kids said offended me, I wouldn't sit there and
listen! I'd say - 'I'm uncomfortable hearing those words, I'm going to
the kitchen', or 'I'm plugging in my iPod'. I have a feeling part of
the persistence is your child picking up on your tension about it. Why
don't you show your discomfort if you're uncomfortable?

Or "Let's bake some cookies" or "Let's make paper airplanes" or "Let's
bathe the dog!"

I agree: I'd change the subject!

"Please stop" works for me.
