I'm chuckling.  I've never heard of F-bomb before and is quite appropriate. 
Hahaha.

My sister told the story that when my niece came home from kindergarten one
afternoon, she had aeard the "mother" version, and mispronounced it so
badly, it took her a while before she realized what my niece was saying.

At this point, with all of the defiance happening, I would let it go.  If
your daughter finds out the bad language is another way to push your
buttons, she'll jump on it.  The reasons why one word is okay and another
isn't are pretty difficult to explain to a preschooler.

If she were older and not having behavioral issues, my advice might be
different.  When my daughter came home with the f-bomb from school and asked
me if she could say it one time to see what would happen, I told her to go
ahead.  She said it and was surprised to find that absolutely nothing
happened.  I told her she could say it if she wanted to, but she had to go
to her room and shut the door so it wouldn't bother anybody else.  Over the
next two or three days, I heard her going to her room and closing the door a
few times, and I knew what she was up to.  But the novelty wore off, and the
word lost its appeal.  If I had freaked out, she'd still be throwing f-bombs
today.  Last night aside, it has never come up again, and I think it came up
this time because we were in the unfortunate company of some unruly teenage
house guests of my boyfriend's ex wife over Easter weekend.  She'll figure
out over the next few weeks that disrespecting her mother doesn't pay off.

We have a neighbor who throws  F bombs frequently in regular conversation,
and today he used one with Kahlan. Kahlan hasn't indicated that she's going
to start using it, or even that she heard or understood it. Should Chris and
I talk to her about it, or just leave it alone unless she actually starts
using it? Chris didn't hear it because he'd gone to the store to pick
something up for me. I asked the neighbor not to use it and he did
apologize, but he's done it frequently in normal conversations where she and
all the other kids can hear, including his own, and his kids can be pretty
disrespectfrul.
Should we bring it up with Kahlan, or leave it alone? Chris and I have
already decided she's not allowed to play at their house anymore.
