You know I’m really sick of repeating the “face-eating leopards party” jokes, but let’s call a spade a spade here
Ironic. Though historically not, "calling a spade a spade" has become associated with race and derogatory undertones in the US in the last 100 years. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/09/19/224183763/is-it-racist-to-call-a-spade-a-spade
I internally delved (pun unintended) into this a long time ago, knowing that "espada" means sword, and indeed is the reason of that suit in the standard playing card deck, afaict.
