A lot of people use certain words just out of habit, the last thing you need is some SJW jumping down your throat and calling you names cause they don't like your regional dialect. Lots of words I grew up with that were normal or not that bad, and now are considered super offensive. It's not a malicious thing, all you can do is calibrate and learn, but some people get so worked up if you don't use the words they're used to

Why did you refer to it as shoving something down your throat?

I don't get why the saying is "shoving it down your throat" or "jumping down your throat" when it's more like shoving it down your ear canal. You don't eat what people are saying 🤔
