Still wouldn't use that phrase if I were you. Just because you grew up in an area where the term wasn't applied towards blacks doesn't mean that it doesn't still disparage them.

Ever see Clerks 2? A particular scene with Wanda Sykes comes to mind.

You know what? Whatever you use it can be whatever you want and it really doesn't make a difference what you think it is because it is nothing by a waste of time and gray matter.

Get beyond the BS and stop worrying about something over which you have no control and move on with the thread.

BTW, Dave, when I was in boot camp there was a guy from your part of NC that clearly stated he couldn't wait to get home and get some cock. Guess how that was received by his fellow sailors?

"Why go all the way back to NC when there's plenty of it right here?"

Sorry... You did say they were sailors...

Yes, sir and you haven't seen more than 40 people take one step back in such a sychronized manner in you life.

You need to make the decision --- and it sounds like you already have. Me? There's no way in F that I'd ever work for this nitwit AND I'd make whatever waves I needed to to make sure whoever he reports to knows what he's telling umpires to do.

However, you've made it quite clear that your current need for the dough outweighs the need to do what you know is right. So nut up, take the cash, and do as Romans do... and then the second you can get out from under, get the heck out of there.
