Do you ignore 'shut up'?

DS 2.8 told his friend to shut up the other day, I felt I had to tell DS off as he had yelled in in his buddys face. This is the first time he's ever said it and because I told him off for it it's word of the week. He screamed it over and over at his dad last night, at just the 3.15am! DH told him off for being rude and today he's told every breathing thing to shut up. What should I of done? Ignored the first one? I know it's not the worst thing you can hear a littlen say, but still it's not nice. My mum hates to hear people say shut up and we're off to stay with her for 2 weeks! I'm waiting for the next profanity and I want to be prepared!

I would crouch down to ds's level, look him in the eye and tell him in my firmest mummy voice that saying that is not nice and then... ignore him!

First time DD said it we had a chat about it - where she had heard it from and how it wasn't a nice thing to say to anybody.

Now if I heard her say it I would repeat quite firmly that it was not a nice thing to say and ask her to apologise to the person.

DS is a stubborn sod I have stood for ages trying to get him to appoligise for stuff if he finally does he frantically scrapes his tongue as if he wishes he'd not said it at all!

I suppose it could be worse my friend's DS is calling everyone a garstard.
