Words & Phrases We Used as Kids That Could Now Get Us Cancelled
Written by DJ Sight on August 2, 2023
Growing up we used certain words not knowing they were bad words. As you get older, you learn that some of those words are offensive to certain communities.
Now, as a kid when we used those words, we didn’t say them with hate or to be offensive to those communities, it was more used as slang.
Fast forward now with a canceled culture you have to be mindful of that or pay the price if you have something to lose.
Here’s a list of some words and phrases that a lot of people used and didn’t know were offensive growing up.
