What would be a non volatile equivalent term? (Not being sarcastic. I don't see it as a good term I just can't think of a neutral term of similar meaning.)

- katbyte 5y agoOdd one out? Even difficult child? beyond that I’m not sure as I think it’s meaning can change from person to person. Key takeaway is just don’t use that term.
- jamil7 5y agoGot me thinking about that too and doing some googling I didn’t find anything that fits perfectly into what OP wanted to express. I suppose it’s best to rephrase it entirely.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoI won’t ask dang to remove it from the post, because that would actually make this conversation seem out of place, but I doubt that I’ll use the term in the future. Won’t be the first anachronistic term I’ve stopped using. Not a big deal. I can always work to modify awkward habits.
- monkeycantype 5y agoSorry if I my comment made you you feel uncomfortable. I see no evidence that any red headed stepchildren or their parents have been offended here. I just always feel when I hear this phrase, that as someone with a vested interest I should give the red step children a shout out.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoNot a problem. I am always glad to see alternative perspectives. Give my regards to your dear Ginger. I'm married to one.
