I like to look up words in an etymology dictionary. You can find a few online.
Also, K9-Lovers, I'd like to say that I know you were well intentioned with your diplomatic approach with offering other ways to say something Red finds offensive. There's always many different ways to see things.
In one sense, it's good that people who don't understand what you were attempting to say/do are bold enough to say they don't want to just blindly follow and obey. That is really what happend that started the "phrase" being used in the first place.
Blind obedience isn't good. People should question and make up their own minds based on their own beliefs. Said with much kindness and hoping you understand. Your friend, bk
