I almost posted this with my last response, but since you shared that story:

I told my wife an old, off color joke that involved a racial term.  It was told in the context of how you can't tell that kind of joke anymore.

She feigned offense at the term so I substituted three or four others for the same group while she sat there staring at me.

At the same time our son walked through...he had zero idea what any of them meant!
