A borderline racial slur about making things look good without substance behind the appearance: e.g.: "riced-up Honda civic"

I'm sure op didn't mean it as a racial slur. The word might have a history but it means something entirely different today, at least in this context.

I agree, but it should still be retired regardless of intended usage - history matters; we don't have to mistakenly other people to show off cool screenshots
