Please stop the harmful use of the word kosher when not referring to Jewish dietary law. It trivializes the experience of people who deal with Kashrut issues.

That's a little different, it's more like saying "Hey, the horse is escaping!" when the barn was already leveled to build a KFC which later became, briefly, a beeper store, and is now a place that sells THC-related goods.

The word master is on that list. It has common non-offensive meanings for almost a thousand years.
