Kemper now:
'Fuck' is such a powerful word, so the line seems thin even though it
exists.  And I definitely don't want my kid saying it in either of the
examples you listed.

But... If my kid says 'shit' when expresses disappointment, the
consequence would be less than if he said 'shut up' (which I see as
verbal abuse).
