I asked that once to good colleague of mine because I was just so blown away by his attention to detail and ability to recall the smallest of facts at a drop of a hat.
He went quiet, and I realised I’d goofed.
I also once said “I need to rice this analysis” to an asian colleague of mine, without fully understanding what that word came from. Again, goofed.
As an ASD and a wordnik, ricing is a form of food prep homogenization, reducing a lumpy medium to the consistency of rice or finer, e.g. potato ricing.
Where in the world did rice this analysis come from? I have literally never heard that anywhere in the professional world or non-professional world. The only time I’ve heard the word rice being used in that instance is when they’re talking about Asian cars that are riced out example. I work in and out of a lot of professional places including laboratories and hospitals and I’ve never even heard a glimpse of that or anything.

Maybe I’m missing a key element.

I took it from “rice my config” to “yak-shaving my config” to “yak-shaving my analysis” to “rice my analysis”
Essentially, I thought it meant “to finesse”. It instead means “form over function with racist undertones”. I am an idiot, yes
That was a wild ride
“I meant it as a compliment” ~~ the absolute worse thing you can say in defense, so I didn’t
“I love rice!”
