@PhilipKing @dragonarchitect @jaykass @foone yet it's one of those insults you only use ironically because nobody over 16 can take it seriously anymore. @dragonarchitect @jaykass @foone *(and seen them full of fruit at the grocery; when i was in fruit mid-late last-century, 15bu bins were still wooden) @BRicker @jaykass @foone My first time working in a store that receives some merch that way on truck day, I thought it was a silly term used internally by that company. But when I worked for a different company in the same industry, same term used. So the dots connected and I figured out that it's just a common normal term in warehousing. Much the same way mechanics say "tranny" but they're actually talking about transmissions, not trans-people. Context matters! :) |
@dragonarchitect @jaykass @foone Unfortunately, outside the US it has a derogatory meaning.
