Homophones are next. "Hey Jude".
> - Touchy metaphorical language like "slave replica"
Slave comes from "slav"[0]. So speaking of "slaves" or "slavery" is racist.

- lolinder 4y agoHomophones aren't even next, they're already in the list. They recommend against "tarball" on the grounds that it might sound like "tarbaby" which is apparently a racial slur (I'm only familiar with the Brer Rabbit story).

You know, I was having lunch with some guys from NBC, so I said, uh, "Did you eat yet or what?" and Tom Christie said, "No, didjew?" Not, "did you", "didjew eat?" Jew? No, not "did you eat", but "Jew eat"? Jew. You get it? Jew eat?
