[quote=Anonymous]It's definitely a slur. It's even a slur that I (a white person) have heard white people using while saying racist things, a few times in my life. But here is what Trone said: “So this Republican [bugaboo] that it’s the tax rate that’s stopping business investment, it’s just completely faulty by people who have never run a business. They’ve never been there. They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.” Bugaboo makes total sense. The slur word makes zero sense. Sometimes people actually mis-speak. Bugaboo 1: an imaginary object of fear 2: bugbear sense 2 (an object or source of dread: a continuing source of irritation : problem) also : something that causes fear or distress out of proportion to its importance https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bugaboo[/quote]
