This reminds me of the story I read once about Baseball Reference's old link naming structure.

It was similar to this scheme, but it took the first five letters of the last name, and the first two of the first name. There were variants and workarounds for players with the same letters in their name, and such.

But then there was the result for Jewish player Kevin Youkilis...

"Kike" is a slur for Jewish people. Maybe a little dated by now.

Guess that means I’m dated too

Nah, just didn’t grow up somewhere like Florida. Most of us can’t name the Presidents, but holy shit there’s a depth to the slurs you’d hear thrown around.

I think the last time I heard it was in American History X. Don’t think I ever heard anyone say it in person.
