That literally anything a person says is open to moderation because of something not in use anywhere within decades possibly has an old, archaic, and unused meaning? If so, that's a terrible lesson.</quote>I've commonly come across it being used in a derogatory way to this day by certain people.

Zerothma 04/02/17 3:16:11 AM #51:	It is commonly known that that abbreviation is a racial slur. However I'd argue that nobody uses it that way and nobody takes offense to it anymore.
