Dear Prudence, My sister won’t speak to me because I taught her daughter a naughty word. I was playing Scrabble with my 8-year-old niece, who is very smart. She always kills me when we play and it’s kind of embarrassing for me. But this one game was close. I had the opportunity to play all my letters to spell “fellatio” ensuring I’d win the game. I thought a bit about whether I should play this word or just lose graciously. Pride got the better of me and I played the word. My niece didn’t believe it was a word and looked it up in the dictionary. This lead to numerous questions about sex that I wasn’t prepared for. So I told her to ask her mother. When my sister found out what I’d done she hit the ceiling. She was furious at me that I’d taught her this word. Now she won’t speak with me. I’ve considered apologizing but I don’t think I did anything wrong. She would have learned the word eventually anyway. When I was a kid, I learned far worse words younger than that.
Bud! Fellatio is only 11 points in Scrabble! Even with the 50-point bonus for using all of your tiles, this was the wrong hill to die on. It is a bad idea to teach your 8-year-old niece about blow jobs, no matter how much you thought you knew about oral sex when you were a kid. (For everyone who doesn’t believe Scrabble can lead to a situation like this: Play with my family sometime.) I admire your commitment to winning and share your salt-the-earth strategy when it comes to gamesmanship, but you should know better. Apologize to your sister, and don’t play Scrabble with your niece again.

When I was about 9-10 I just happened to be in the room when my pawpaw and uncle's were talking about the calves.
Pawpaw was telling my uncle which one to castrate.
I had no idea what that meant. So I asked.
Mawmaw looked at me, then him and said "well, you tell her" and walked out.
A birds and bees talk with your pawpaw.
Yep.

Teaching the meaning of the word is a lot less disturbing than what I thought the thread was about, based on the title! I had an "OMG" moment of thinking the actual act was taught!
But, once I read the OP and found out it was just the word and it's meaning, words about sex should be left to the mother and father to teach or not.
A couple weeks ago a bicyclist flipped me off because I did not stop to let him cross. (He had a stop sign, I did not). The boys wanted to know what that meant. I told them I would explain when they were older. Yesterday #2 spelled the F word to me and asked if that's what the middle finger word was. I said yes and left it at that. He didn't ask what it meant.
I have a problem with not being able to play a legit word just because it's an 'adult' word. The aunt told her niece to ask her mom re the questions. The aunt should've showed her niece that the word is real but put her hand over the definition.

I disagree. She should have not played it. That's just ignorant.

A agree also...

I just read the OP again and it doesn't say whether the LW was a guy or a girl. If this was an uncle doing this he's a pervert. Even if it was an aunt it's not a discussion you should start with a child that is not your own.

Oh, man. I would kick ass in Scrabble. My sister would giggle away. When I threw down 'chintz' and the Z was in that triple letter square. I thought there would be a revolt. Then one friend was screaming that it wasn't a word. Umm, look it up!

Alright. Someone tell me what that means. I don't want it in my google history. And I'm done googling for the day, my anti-virus detected 6 Trojan viruses today alone.

Picture in your mind, if you will, a room full of people, all men and one or two women. The woman (or women if there are more than one) is naked and on her knees. The men are all surrounding the woman (or women) and at the very least have their male parts exposed and erect. if they are close enough to the woman, she will masturbate and fellate the ones that she can, and the others will masturbate themselves, when it's time for their finale, the men will make their deposits all over her face and body.
