No hurt intended.
I was sure that this term was very standard communication.
Like "take a swag" at it.
I was challenged recently and told that I could not "say" that word anymore.
When I looked it up and did a search on it, it does not seem to show up?
Well, you know how I felt. So I was wondering.
This world is a strange place.
