Grandkids: Grandson: Ass?

OK, I admit I wasn’t talking about a donkey. I was on the phone with my friend Jim Forbes while watching my grandson, and I said “kick his ass” (among other things)

I was unaware the word “ass” had been promoted to “bad word.” My grandson told his mom I said it in front of him and his friend from next door.

I do try to avoid all the bad words from my youth, but I suspect I am no longer up to date.

Hard to keep up with standards of inappropriate speech these days. I was actually under the impression that there weren't any left. Hoever, it the present case, you could probably get away with "tush" or the more whimsical "tushy."
