New imprecations arise with regularity, but I like the mouthfeel of this one.

@munin I worry that this trend is also boosting typical racist rhetoric but they say this instead of the N word. It feels like what they really want to say the N word instead. :/

@mauve

Judging by what I saw on the street the other day - no, those people are just using the N word.

@munin Fair 😅 I could send you a link of the specific vibe next time I come across it if you'd like.

@mauve

no need, I am intimately familiar with it and know what you're talking about.

Those people are only failing to use the word they want to use in that setting because they would be punished for it; I guarantee you they are already using that word in situations where they can get away with it. It is not encouraging any new behaviors.
