Interesting to note, it *seems* that we're tap-dancing around the term in question. Only one person in this thread has posted the term I think the OP had in mind, and it hasn't been repeated yet.
But to the OP, I would say this.....Imagine using your "term" in a crowded room. Would you be embarrassed or feel the need to explain/apologize? If yes, then I'd probably let your freshly coined verbage die a quiet death.

Yeah, if I was a genius, I would figure out what the social studies lesson was...
Walking on eggshells about something as petty and hurtful as racism is foolish. It doesn't deserve the respect. It should be talked about openly by those who don't perpetuate it through silence or quiet acceptance.
Granted, you won't catch me dropping the n-bomb on here, but I'm not afraid to talk about the use of it.

OP: If the use of the term ("it") offends him, then it is probably offensive. The nice part about being an adult is that we can be offended in a constructive manner. Most of the time it's pretty amusing afterwards.
Racism, sexism, ageism, religion... all hilarious in the right light.
