My nieces, 5 and 9 yr old girls, treat the word "fat" the way I'd treat the word "bitch" (as something that slips out occasionally but is unforgivably rude if directed at a person), and it really bothers me how the culture does that to kids.

I've been watching The History of Swear Words with the 9 yr old (trying to instill a lifelong love of learning via giggling over people in a show saying "fuck") and I actually wonder if fat is on its way to becoming a curse word, based on this behavior.
