HOWEVER!

I have personally never heard the word before, if it COULD be seen as offensive then I think THAT should be enough warrant to change it, especially considering that a part of Goonstation's appeal is how "clean" it is of the more rude and edgy "humor" that some of the other servers employ (RIP in peace Hippie, you were a station).

With such a large influx of new players joining in, I think we should change it to a potentially less offensive alternative name if it is actually a term used to verbally assault people as to avoid leaving a bad taste in a new player's mouth that could snowball into them leaving from a variety of minor issues.

Yeah that's what I was saying man, I grew up there and had no clue, but this was pointed out by Uranium that it's used to disparage lower class folk. In fairness I feel like there's a new thing I never knew was horrible every other month.

I confess, I am not exactly sure what a good new name for it would be tho.
