    Ohhhhh I thought you meant the phrase was “growing up r*****”. Took me five minutes to figure out what you meant. It’s just the one word, not the whole phrase. 😆

    For anyone else confused like me, it’s the pejorative word for a person with a mental disability.

      Thanks for the explanation because I was confused too. Good example of why commas matter.

      I thought they meant “growing up r” as well. First my brain supplied me with “growing up rich”.
