I use the word “clan” with my own family - but publicly do not refer to my relatives as my “clan” - as my grandfather did.
Too many workplace idiots would immediately assume I was a member of the KKK and report as such to HR.
Luckily, I haven’t worked for years. But similarly, when I mentioned “China flu” to family in a FB post, a younger female said “that’s racist,”...She’s out of the Will.
