Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    I believe it comes from another language, and has a history before english adopted it.

      Well fuck. Looks like you’re right. Latin -> Spanish -> French and ended up as a slur in English. I guess I could have figured that out on my own knowing Spanish. I guess I just never really cared to know the origin of the word. Gotta go catch a crow now for dinner. Better than the microwave dinner I was gonna have I guess.
