I have always tried not to use that word, as the definition can sometimes show as lack of intelligence (which is not the fault of the unintelligent person)
In fact my grandchildren think it is a naughty, bad word.
I find myself muttering it more and more lately though, one day I may actually say it out loud. Some of these words I would never use.
If I kick my toe because I didn't have shoes on, I would think how stupid I was....................if I put washing in the machine and forget to turn it on.................etc.
