"I made a joke, months ago, and got a treatise from my daughter. She left the table. I said, `Come on, that`s a joke! I say it in the movie Stuck on You!` She went to her room and wrote a very long, beautiful treatise on how that word is dangerous. I said, `I retire the f-slur!` I understood," Matt told.
