2023-05-27 19:53:01 +0000 UTCI wouldn't have expected you to, it's a relatively obscure bit of good old Canadian racism... But it gets my hackles up a bit every time I hear someone use it in this context.

I do think you'll have a hard time eliminating it though, seeing as it's a pretty common word in general use in a dozen benign contexts that have no such connotations. Definitely a weird one!

Gotta address a personal issue I have though, your use of the acronym CHUG... I'm on a bit of a personal quest to eliminate this word from use in this context, in small part because it's outdated, the classics, henkei, universe and generations lines are all defunct by this point. That aside, the main issue I have is that chug is a racial slur used against indigenous people in parts of Canada, due to the racist stereotype of high alcohol consumption among their community... I've been casually trying to pass along to people that it's potentially offensive in the same way as... A prominent example of a character whose name was changed several years ago, but haven't had much success changing the hearts and minds of the people... In fact the last few comments I posted on YouTube videos have gotten a lot of pushback and even outright anger! But you seem the type to be introspective about the way you use language, so I wanted to bring it up, see if you'd be willing to aid me on my quest!
