I’ve been to multiple midnight showings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and never saw any fellow attendees engage in that kind of thing. Even strip clubs usually prohibit such behavior.

“Carpetbagger” – thank you for calling her what she is. That term needs to be used more often. Also, Master Skywalker is called a master for a reason.

The term from the reconstruction era for people from the north who dared take jobs in rebuilding the south, derided by the local whites for doing things like teaching the newly-freed black people or encouraging them to run for office? Yeah, given that origin I’m ok with it dying out.

The term can also be defined as a white northern grifter come south, w/the aim of parting people from their money via their (often get-rich-quick) schemes. That aspect sure applies to grandmommy bobo, but I certainly can’t argue w/your desire to see the term die.

the historical origins are important, but let’s not ignore the accepted understood meaning since its inception, because it’s useful and apt in this context.
