student asking question

I assume the word "PG" refers to a rating because the phrase "F-bomb" was previously mentioned. But why would he say "Keep it PG" in this context? Does it have other meaning, perhaps?

Yes! That's right. It does refer to a rating. If you say "keep it PG" It's like saying keep the content, activities, or conversation appropriate for children. Ex: Go play truth or dare. But keep it PG, please. Ex: I told you already. No swearing in this house! Keep it PG, Paige.
