History and context are hugely important. While In the presence of little children your right to eliminate the word. I can recall a lymeric that would land a child in jail now. It was a very common childhood outdoors, singing, yelling and reciting theses types of songs: (this is not an endorsement), simply a childhood song every kid knew.

“Glory glory hallelujah, teacher hit me with a ruler. Stood behind the door with my trusty 44 and the teacher was no more”.

Teacher don’t get pissed. No one is advocating violence against teachers. However in those days teachers really could use corporal punishment! AND the kids all knew that. Simply this was a kids song. Not a single kid I ever knew, from east to west coast ever even gave a thought the song was instructions or actually did anything to a teacher. It was a funny song all laughed at. Certainly is was against being hit by your teachers. But few ever had a wrapping accross the knucles, but we all knew the stories from our parents. It was simply kids being kids. We were not killers, just kids who made their own fun and songs about those with power over us (everyone had more power than kids). It was sung in humor and was treated as such.
