That's OK. On the children's cartoon "Dave the Barbarian" (I think it's on the Disney cartoon channel) which I think has a Y7 rating, they were describing the pros and cons of the dogs that a character could pick as a pet and for the stylish dog, they ended the description with the phrase, "How's that for 'doggie style'." I think that sexualized slang has become so cliched that people don't even realize what they are saying any more, and there is no longer any delimiter between a private adult space where such comments are acceptable and a public and/or child-friendly space where such comments don't belong.

I remember when "That sucks!" started becoming an everyday term. Wasn't that long ago. I found it slightly shocking, coming from the mouths of little kids. Not anymore, after hearing it hundreds of times.

you are exactly right.
Just take a walk through the children/toddler section of any department store and you'll see slut-garb and gangsta-garb are quite acceptable at any age.
