Unfortunately
I don't think there is much we can do about this now that the word has become so much a part of mainstream vocabulary. As much as we who feel this way may try to raise our children to not use the word, there are just as many other young people, and older as a matter of fact, who use the word with ease and its continuing to be passed down. Rather pessimistic, I know, but its how I feel after having thought about it.
I do too, however, cringe everytime I hear the word and I cannot STAND it when my younger sister uses it with her friends, but again, the most she will do when I give her the look or say something about it is smack her lips and say it outside of my presence when she can. I guess I should at least be a bit grateful that she knows using it isn't acceptable around everybody.
