Bad Words

When does a parent start to consider words as bad or name calling? And, how do you address something like that?

Let me explain, a couple weeks ago, my mom and I realized Kayla was calling people "bumblebees." But this wasn't the casual ha ha to be funny. She would look at us and say, "Hey you bumblebee!" Especially when we were doing something she didn't like. How do you approach a subject like that? Its obviously not a bad word, but if she is purposefully calling us this "bad" name, then how do we address that and do we try to stop her from saying it? Don't we wish kids came with a handbook?!
