maybe it's just me but that's the way I see things.

"If you can't say it in front of your grandmother, you shouldn't say it at all!" is the way my mother helped stopped me from becoming too obnoxious when I was a teen. You know why it worked? Because there were certain things I'd never consider saying in front of my "granny" even though those same things were cool to say to my friends.
It's really just a matter of politeness. Somethings you just don't say in certain groups. This is especially true if you believe it will be seen as offensive.
There are certain adjectives I don't want people to use to describe my mother. Sure they're just words, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life in prison for killing some inconsiderate jerk
