No.



In the context of the question I figured it out but I've never seen it before this.

Unlike 90% of the yokels here, I can figure out what words mean with context clues, which were all there in the other thread.

Before reading the other thread, no. But I used context clues to figure it out.

It's not a racist term, so I'm not sure how that's relevant.

How many of you knew what "context clues" meant before this thread without looking it up? I mean come on. We dont need that fancy schmancy school talk here.

They also had many of these at that school:
