I just got up from conversation with a couple of older black men, that I said “well I got to go back to work and start cracking the whip.” And it occurred to me then that it was probably a really insensitive stupid thing to say.
Sadly, it hadn’t occurred to me until it’s already said.
Rice rocket was a term used for modified Japanese cars, and ricing your car meant turning it into a rice rocket.
I thought “ricing” meant submerging your stuff in rice to get the moisture out to stop water damage.
