The term grandwizard is extremely dated. If you do not know what it means its better not to find out.

Letting racists keep the term is a loss to us all.

Did you know Grand Wizzard Theodore invented the disc scratch? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Wizzard_Theodore

Wow. I only knew the term from fantasy role plays and fantasy overall. Would not have guessed it to have a real world connotation.

By your comment I learned from the Wrestler, but more importantly the Ku Klux Klan reference and meaning. Thanks for laying out a bread crumb to follow for new insights.

Whoops, not intended. Though my father did threaten to disown me if I ever brought a Volkswagen home.
