@chucker @heartles@pdx.social by being deep into racing lingo but not having social justice issues on your radar. 'eliminating' is pretty common in the racing lingo from what i remember, holding no connotations the way it does in other spaces. it's just sort of alongside disqualification, etc. but on a larger scale/slightly different action (a specific racer is dq'd, a car race itself is eliminated). i can see how you could dumbshit your way into that more or less.
