You'd think obvious choices like "niggle" or "niggardly" would make the list, but it's all just nonsense like "cakewalk".

Most of these words have gone so far beyond their original usage that nobody associated with some of slavery except the people whose job it is to make these God damn stupid list trying to police everybody else's language.

Also the nitty gritty one is totally a reach and its origins absolutely had nothing to do with the slave trade I was probably just made up by some idiot he needed to add things to their stupid ass just.

That song has such a modern feel and infectious melody. It would have been a great number for Madonna to cover in her heyday.

This article is from 2020, during the Floyd frenzy.
Almost no one pays attention to this shit anymore.

R14, there’s another one about a woman who was told off for saying nitty gritty last month. Someone on Reddit said that their classmate went off on their teacher for saying nitty gritty. lol. Apparently this caught on thanks to TikTok.

The racist origins of the term "grandfathered in" is the one that surprised me. I had no idea.

I have a very PC friend who was surprised when I told him his rental property listing using the term "master bedroom" was considered offensive these days.

Yeah the whole 'primary' bedroom versus master bedroom is - I guess fine. It just didn't seem necessary.
