I'm with BulletBob.....I suspect that the Eminem is explaining what they mean, but not necessarily allowing her to use them in everday conversation.
I think you have to be honest and straightforward with your kids. "This is what is out there.........here is what I believe........and this is how I expect you to conduct yourself."
Society will bombard your kids with so many things that you may not be comfortable with, but if you are not open and honest about those uncomfortable things, you will be leaving some very important lessons up to everyone else.
An honest and open relationship with your kids does not mean no rules, it just means no secrets. It is a damned tough line to walk.....
