Maybe she was trying to refer to the "slaved over a hot stove"saying.

People get offended about everything. So tired of it. It's just an expression and we're way past slavery, which occurred in many countries not just ours.

nonsense. Often they are offensive.

Apologies are in order.

They need to be listened to with many grains of salt.

@misschristy, I'm ambivalent about how offensive or not offensive the expression was. But I will never, ever minimize the period of slavery in our country. I don't give a hoot that it existed elsewhere. It is a disgusting part of our history that should never be forgotten.

Welcome to America. The land of the offended.

No, it's not "slave labor,". However, I would not take the comment literally and I certainly don't find it to be an insensitive or offensive comment.

Words matter.

The host was inappropriate.

But when you talk for a living you are bound to foul up every now & then.
