“Have either of you heard of an etymological dictionary? Check it out, and apologize.”

Thank you for the information about the etymological dictionary as I found it very interesting. I certainly apologize to anyone I may have offended and I hope that “not knowing” the word or phrase is offensive would be considered. I believe anyone who has used it would be as surprised as I was to learn the root etymological meaning and would not have used it had they known.

You're probably giving them too much credit. I think you're the only one to apologize so far.
