Over the yrs. it's become a normal part of my vocabulary for emphasis on normal dialogue. I don't even realize I am using it sometimes. I don't usually use it in a derogative way..Growing up, I rarely used words that would or could be considered derogatory or offensive. I try to notice my p's and q's around family, but occasionally it just slips out in a sentence. It does bother me to a certain extent to the point where I am trying to at least reduce it from daily use!
