    If you use the word “slaps” you’re not talking to the population as a whole, you’re talking to specific people. And likely ones who already agree with your point.

        Non-slang is not “white”, or even American. Drag should understand the difficulty caused when drag invents terminology that needs to be explained to any outgroup who can’t be expected to be familiar with words drag has only popularised recently. Doesn’t drag think that if anything it’s kind of exclusionary against second-language speakers?
