Black folks name so many things differently. I remember the day I realized that when elders say they got bad nerves, they talking about anxiety. Or when they say “don’t touch uncle John stuff you know he real particular” or that cousin that had “spells” they were talking about autism.

I’ll never forget learning that was black folks call “the itis” is just the result of eating too much food and your blood sugar spiking 😭.
