It happened to a friend of mine, and i was there when it happened. Apparently he picked that up in the school's playground, and decided it might be useful whenever he was being told not to do this or that around the house. My mouth fell wide open when i heard him say that, and so did my fiend's and his wife's.
But only for a brief moment, and then he slapped him a couple of times and told him it would be worse if he ever heard him say that word again. I don't think ANY parent can keep his/her cool when your kid calls you names like that, and imo there's only one way to teach him not do say that ever again.

Yeah, I recall an incident where my daughter picked up a vulgar word, something like f**k translated in English. Me and my wife had to slap her (slightly) in the mouth a few times and explained to her that it is a very bad word to use until she learnt her lesson.
Then one day, I got mad about something and utter that word in my anger and my daughter overheard me. She came to be and say, "Daddy, you are using the bad word!" She then proceed to slap me in the mouth and before I get the chance to apologize to her, she ran to the kitchen and told my wife what I did.
I don't know about you, but I think the light slap on her mouth actually taught her a valuable lesson. (and me too, as I am a little more cautious nowadays about what I speak when she is around me).
