      bit of an odd phenomenon of people trying to *strengthen* the offensiveness of antiquated phrases by bringing up (supposed) ancient etymologyhttps://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1108900790666711040 …

      Two viewers just emailed me to say they were offended by the term “ragging on” as in teasing, running down, becuase it’s a sexist reference to women and the menstrual cycle but I’ve never heard this before and the internet isn’t really helping.

      "Fuck off" is an anti-French ethnic slur. Was originally "Frank Off" in anglo-saxon.

          Rag is from tongue. Chew the rag\chew the fat were the same. Rag out\chew out. "On the rag" clearly must come from increasing acceptance of cunnilingus in popular society around 1970s. Refusing to say it is a repressive male-focused view of sex.
