As the OP to this, I’ll cop to apparently thinking it’s way worse of a word than it actually apparently is. Apologies to the thread!
In my defense, I’ve long thought it was really offensive based almost entirely on a plot point from a book that is going to date me horribly, being Scott Young’s hockey classic Scrubs on Skates.
