Amir,
I was merely told by someone. I was told that both words were derogatory [at the same time, hence I mentioned both].
If you wish to discuss this further, we can take it offlist.

Citation needed. I hope not to derail this thread, but AFAIK there's
nothing derogatory in these words. I don't even know why do you
mention "vernacular", which didn't appear in the email. Correct me if
I'm missing anything.
