YUP!

I had a dcg saying "damnit" but you couldn't understand her. Mom said they said it ONCE when she dropped something in the kitchen.

She got ZERO attention for it, and it stopped.

For the kids you CAN understand, we say "That's a potty word. You can say it in the bathroom only." and redirect them to the bathroom. After a few times, just pointing works. They stop eventually. NO other attention/reaction.
