Like, if I said “okay tomato”, you could take it as offensive it in turns tomato into a slur.
I guess I’m just thinking while typing here, but if that’s what a slur is, maybe we need a new term for contextless offensive words?

I mean sure new slurs are invented all the time, but it’s really not that deep. Pops is just one of the more common ones. You see it in movies and stuff.
