Religious, especially Puritan, values still echoing down through the decades. Organizations reinforcing the idea that words about body parts are inherently offensive are even worse. I remember getting sent home for using the word "Penis". My parents both went to the school for a parent-teacher interview. That principal had brought the teacher in and were serious about my need for detention etc. The whole thing ended in farce as my father laughed in the principal's face then angrily demanded no consequence for me. I doubt today's generation of teachers would tolerate this. Probably react to being humiliated like this by calling it harassment or similar nonsense. But I also think my father if he was part of this generation would have twittered the whole incident instead and let the twitterverse do it for him.
