    It reminds me of the scene in Clerks 2 where Randall wants to bring the term “porch monkeys” back

        It was the first time I had ever heard the word. There are too many slurs out there.

          Growing up in suburban St Louis, Missouri I thought I’d heard them all. And then someone said mooncricket.

          And I think that’s what’s great about it and gives the whole inclusion in the story value. There are things people don’t know and they earnestly don’t understand why they get heat until they get clued in.

          Hard to shift thought patterns that are well established when they don’t make sense to you (closing your mind to learning is an entirely different ball of wax as well)
