'My son has started to use some worrying words'

Q. I've been separated for two years now and my little boy lives mostly with his mam. He's six now and he's started saying some worrying things. His mother has a live-in partner for the past year and I'm afraid something might be going on. He has started calling his 'willie' (what we usually call it) a 'cock' and he's started calling 'boobies' 'tits'. He seems okay but he says this stuff to me while laughing, as though he knows it's bold. But I'm worried he's trying to tell me something. How can I bring this up? The boyfriend and I don't really talk, but I've an okay relationship with my ex.
