“CakeWalk”: A dancing contest among African Americans in which a cake was awarded as a prize. Why you should stop using it: Rooted in enslavement in the prewar South, some Black slaves were forced to spend Sundays dressing up and dancing in a way of ridiculing enslavers and the white upper classes. They competed for a cake, hence the name. Regarded as fun and leisurely weekend activity, “cakewalk” became associated with easy tasks.
I guess that's not quite as bad as being forced to be a banker.
