So did you downvote me? Well when I was growing up it always referred to loud or supped up cars. Typically Hondas or fords. I didn’t mean to offend anybody. People get too tigger happy with the downvote button.

i mean, i didnt downvote, but def was going to if you didn't have a good reason for using the term. I'd stop using the term moving forward though. It having derogatory roots still indicates that it can just as easily hurt others. Within context, noting the condescending tone, it could easily be misconstrued.

I understand and I appreciate that. I just grew up saying it and had Japanese friends with cars and they called them rice burners! 🤷‍♂️ times change, thanks for letting me know.
