I suspect OP is using it wrong. Usually "the hard R" refers to a really bad "no-no" word.

Though the phrase has probably become a slight meme due to Linus from LTT getting the phrase's meaning wrong in the same way you guys have, but on a live broadcast.

Any "no-no" word?

You can actually write one down, we're not in kindergarten ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ.

I can, but I don't want to because it's disrespectful.

Also, I think you'd even get thrown out of middle school for saying this one.

It's a Biiig difference saying a word and using it for treatibg someone with it.

Or so I think.

I do understand you want to curb usage of some words, but outright forbid them is not what I am used to where I live.

They are referring to Negro, but having the R like the river in Africa.
