The saying: "Call a spade a spade." is something almost everyone has heard a time or two in their lives. Yet, some still do not understand what it truly means. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the definition of the saying is:
"1.) to call a thing by its right name however coarse; 2.) to speak frankly."
While the exact origin of the phrase is not known, the saying can be traced back to Ancient Greece thousands of years ago.
In absolutely no manner is it a euphemism for race.
