Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Look, what we do for living, we have to be careful what we say sometimes because, I don't know.

You don't want to offend anyone.

Right.

And sometimes there are slurs against people that are used in everyday life from wherever we're from in our culture.

Right.

And I never knew some of these were slur words.

Yeah, you find out the hard way.

Yeah, I'm not going to even mention it.

But a moment ago, Gondi said, look at this candy bar.

It's supposed to have nuts in it. This company is kind of chensy with the nuts. And then she looked up, she said, oh, God, is chenzy an offensive word in some circles? Yeah. In some cultures. So, of course, we Google it up immediately. Chensy. I'm like, oh, God, I don't know. It sounds close to Chinese. Yeah, something could be off about that. I don't know. And I don't want to slur people without knowing it. So, Danielle, do you think the word chency could be offensive to some? No, I think it just means cheap. You know what? Cheaply made. She's absolutely right. You are correct. Right. Yeah. You guessed right. It comes from... Chimsy thank you yeah it comes she is safe

chisie is safe it comes from it comes from it comes they say from chintz which is

Victorian it's Hindi well it's Chint is Hindi it is okay yeah yeah what was something

had to do Victorian people yeah so British people yes to use it to, oh wait, I have to go back. I was on another one. Originated in the mid-19th century as a colorful glazed cotton fabric imported from India. Okay. Which became associated with cheapness, tawdiness, and stinginess due to the proliferation of low-quality British imitation. Okay, so we're not making fun of Hindu, Hindi. Okay. Indian. But the British took it over in Victorian times. We can make fun of them. They're white. Yeah, they made a lower boot-like quality version of them. Yeah, we're good. We're white. We can make fun of whites. You're not done. See, you are Hindi. I'm Hindu. Well, Hindu, but can make fun of whites you're not so you are Hindi I'm

Hindu but you you're Indian descent so you can't make fun of the whites but I can't

say chintzy you can say chensie yeah exactly okay and I will make fun of the whites

anybody can make fun of the whites that's pretty safe okay exactly especially a room full of

whites but but you know what I'm saying? We try to be careful. I don't want to ever offend anyone, but sometimes there are words we all grew up saying in whatever culture you're from that you don't think twice about it. But in other cultures, it's like, oh, oh my god what you just said well hey yeah

absolutely and we were talking about some of those words during the song we'll not repeat them
