DS (4) swearing at pre-school

So my DS (aged 4) has started saying, "fuck it!".
He's got a lovely group of boisterous friends at pre-school, and they're all finding it very funny to shout this phrase at each other and their teachers. They have no idea of its meaning, but they must have realised that it's naughty, or they wouldn't find it funny, right?
I would really love to hear your suggestions of how to discourage this behaviour. I'm slightly terrified of him shouting "fuck it" at his Nan (my MIL) who abhors swearing and will really not be impressed!
Thank you in advance!

Don't say it yourselves?

We don't. He hasn't picked up this phrase from home!!

He might be influenced in the movie he watches or even in his surroundings. Just talk to him about that and explain to him why it's not good. I'm sure he will understand you.
