We have grown adults in this country who are way too literal and crybaby over minutia. Back in the day (us old people say this) we told our best friends that if they turned the hose on us (or any other transgression) one more time, we'd __________ them. (Don't even dare write a word these days, but fill in your own blanks.) Not one person cared nor got offended, and the parents would say "get outside and settle your own battles." So we did. Grow up and settle your own battles before someone else does it for you.
