It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

    I remember back in the late 90s being in college. I brought my girlfriend to class one day. She raised her hand after the professer was explaining Master/Slave roles. Keep in mind, I’m white. She’s black. She’s not enrolle

    d in this class AT ALL.

    So the professer sees this, and says “Yes, you there, girl I’ve never seen in 4 months of this class”

    And all she said was “Master and Slave drives? That sounds sexy!”

    The whole class facepalmed.
