    I tend to try to make any situation that makes me uncomfortable humerous. I tell my kids, loudly, "If i ever hear you talking that way in public, I will pull your leg off and beat you with it." This is even funnier when they are pre-verbal. . .
    I also respond occasionally, "Don't be shy man, tell us how you really feel!" or start into a Yosemite Sam "Frickin frackin" kinda cussing tirade. Maybe the person will realize how they are acting and stop. Of course, i've also been told to go #@$& myself. . .
