“I’ve never even heard the word.”

Like a lot of other things in this time of racial finger pointing, it’s a very old word that has been considered unacceptable for years. But as long as there are people, there will be efforts to create conflict...both ways.

I only heard it used to reference to a horse that spooked at everything intentionally in a battle of will with the rider.

Obviously used to prank greenhorns.
