when I said I thought it was kosher, I meant that I understood my mother meant no offence to anyone by using it.
Kinda fit with the description of microaggression, usually in this situation, it's best to remind her that it's not an ok thing to says nowadays.

the description of microaggression
Microagression seems to be a thing which some professor made up with to keep his publication numbers up.
it's best to remind her that it's not an ok thing to says nowadays.
Wouldn't that be generational microagression? Denigrating an older person for using language which was perfectly fine when they were growing up will make them feel pretty bad.

@edscoble, not kidding. Really wasn't sure how others viewed use of it. I googled it but couldn't really come to a meaningful conclusion from what I found.
It's definitely not a phrase I'd use - probably mainly due to not understanding how it'd be interpreted/it's connotations - when I said I thought it was kosher, I meant that I understood my mother meant no offence to anyone by using it. She is of the age group that @mdcc_tester referred to so...
I guess that if UKIP aint 'down with it' then that says a lot about its current connotations.
