Original Note:
Although the term “fuzzy wuzzy” does have a racist origin, the other terms do not. The 1926 Sears catalog was the first recorded use of the phrase “master bedroom.” The word picnic comes from a French word “pique-nique,” a term describing a social gathering with food. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-picnic-origin-lynchings/fact-check-the-word-picnic-does-not-originate-from-racist-lynchings-idUSKCN24E21V https://www.reso.org/blog/master-bed-and-bath-terminology/amp/ https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/FHEO/documents/Advertisements%20Memo_508.pdf https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/master%20bedroom
