I also have a funny anecdote: I made a comment in Hacker News saying a list of slurs was incomplete and only mentioning the initial letters of a few slur words not everyone understood me. The point of not mentioning a full word was because for a slur to be a slur it needs to be in a shared context. Otherwise maybe it's just a shortened version of Michael or an embankment used to prevent flooding. The child in your anecdote is a perfect example of that. Thank you.
