Answer 1

kids are always learning new bad words . tell her that it is a bad word, and to come to you with any new words she leaned to see if she can use them

Answer 2

Actually, now "nothing". If you make a big deal out of it, you'll hear it all day everyday, and at the least opportune times. But if you ignore it, it'll probably fade away once she picks up on another "phrase" (watch out for that one, too). At her age most words are benign; it's not about the words so much as the intent behind the words, and she doesn't even know what that means. Making an issue of it (even if you're trying to discourage its use) elevates it to taboo status and reinforces its effectiveness as an attention-gaining saying. So, do "nothing". It'll stop.
