One of my mates inlaws were awesome. Would invite me over for dinners and functions with their extended family all the time. Then mate and girl broke up cos she was a dirty cheating meth-head. I still hang with the folks and rest of the family though.

I was always told to avoid spook because it was a racist slur in America despite it being a word for spy or intelligence officer in the UK. Is it a thing like spaz here where it's fallen out of use so isn't the worst word you could use anymore?

Honestly in that scenario you can't be that old. I haven't needed to show my id in a decade on account of my old geezer face.

Been using this trick on website age checks since 2018 though, it's nice to just quickly pick 1-1-2000 rather than inputting my actually dob.

Only time I got asked for ID was well into my 18th birthday schanigans when I rode a tricycle into the Bottlo for more booze.

I gets used that way in the US too. If you establish the context first people will generally understand. Safe alternatives include "secret squirrel."

The BBC had a spy show called Spooks which got renamed to MI-5 for American broadcast, so I guess it was still dubious as of ~2002

As an American, spook is one of those words where my first instinct isn’t going to be that you’re racist, but it definitely sets off a warning bell in my head unless it’s very clear we’ve been talking about spies.

I ran into this with "coon" as in raccoon as in that fucker that keeps outsmarting me to get at my trash but it's apparently a slur in America or something. Just a dumb short hand though so I just use the full word now.

Spook is historically a slur for Black people in America, but a relatively esoteric one so with no context I'd probably assume someone was talking about spies or ghosts, but it'd prick my ears up enough that I'd start looking pretty closely for context.

Unless you're Australian and it's not racist, it's cheese!


Only kidding, they know it's racist as well, I think. Is that cheese still the main brand there? I never heard 'spook' as a slur though, useful to know.

First year of college some bullshit english class made us write about family of the not blood related kind, and the instructor hauled out the big red sharpie to accuse me of being a klan member for writing about an "uncle" that raised coon-hounds.
