This reminds me of the story I read once about Baseball Reference's old link naming structure.
It was similar to this scheme, but it took the first five letters of the last name, and the first two of the first name. There were variants and workarounds for players with the same letters in their name, and such.
But then there was the result for Jewish player Kevin Youkilis...
Youkike ? I Don't get it...
"Kike" is a slur for Jewish people. Maybe a little dated by now.
Guess that means I’m dated too
Nah, just didn’t grow up somewhere like Florida. Most of us can’t name the Presidents, but holy shit there’s a depth to the slurs you’d hear thrown around.
Grew up in California, had friends who said it regularly
Emphasis on had, there. I was a teen and they had the drugs and booze, ya make do
I think the last time I heard it was in American History X. Don’t think I ever heard anyone say it in person.
You and me both dude.
