I asked that once to good colleague of mine because I was just so blown away by his attention to detail and ability to recall the smallest of facts at a drop of a hat.
He went quiet, and I realised I’d goofed.
I also once said “I need to rice this analysis” to an asian colleague of mine, without fully understanding what that word came from. Again, goofed.
Where in the world did rice this analysis come from? I have literally never heard that anywhere in the professional world or non-professional world. The only time I’ve heard the word rice being used in that instance is when they’re talking about Asian cars that are riced out example. I work in and out of a lot of professional places including laboratories and hospitals and I’ve never even heard a glimpse of that or anything.
As an ASD and a wordnik, ricing is a form of food prep homogenization, reducing a lumpy medium to the consistency of rice or finer, e.g. potato ricing.

I took it from “rice my config” to “yak-shaving my config” to “yak-shaving my analysis” to “rice my analysis”
Essentially, I thought it meant “to finesse”. It instead means “form over function with racist undertones”. I am an idiot, yes
That was a wild ride

Maybe I’m missing a key element.

I had zero clue.
TIL rice rocket is derogatory
“I meant it as a compliment” ~~ the absolute worse thing you can say in defense, so I didn’t
“I love rice!”
