@Justicar - I grew up around Army bases in the 90's, and there were a lot of different races. Thug life was all the rage, and being the impressionable lad I was... 🤔 I wanted to fit in. Being a pale male, the n-word was off-limits.

I was given an "n-word pass" a couple different times... But I knew better. I had seen kids get pretty bloodied over misunderstandings with that word.

So I used "muthafucka" as a generic substitute. And it generally fit the vibe at the time... so there ya go. 🫡🍻
