There's no reason not to teach kids swears as long as you teach them enough manners not to get in trouble for them. This mum could be a great one who talks to her child like an equal using grownup language, with the expectation that he knows which words don't belong in earshot of teachers and snitches.

Embarrassing story time! When i was a wee lad about 7 or 8, a kid on the playground called me a "gaylord". I didn't know what this was and asked my mom later and she said it meant someone who was really happy...like lord of happy people. Anyways i proudly proclaimed to all who would listen at the next recess that I was in fact, a gaylord. Don't shelter your kids people, that shit followed me for years.
