aye, i agree with the "excuse me"... it didn't occur to me that someone would teach her "burped in my butt" before "excuse me"...
"excuse me" was in use in our home, if anything was necessary to say... i forgot about that. the most common thing, however, was "you might wanna open a window before the air cycles up front again..."
my very proper grandma slipped and said "shit" or "asshole" once (i really can't remember--i wasn't feeling well that day)... everyone stopped and stared at her... she just kept quiet for a few seconds, then went on with her chat.
i *am* familiar with the "if you don't say anything, it didn't happen." my dad and i just prefer to be more crass. ;)
