I have used the word stupid before when talking to players. It really depends who you are talking to and how you deliver the line with the word. I would agree that not everyone can use this to their advantage. But when things are getting really hairy, I think you can use any word short of cursing to get a point across. Not all kids respond to "positive" talk. Some kids you have to get in their face and they will get the point across. Just know your audience and the situation.
