I recall "Phat" being problematic. Especially since it was applied to thicker women.

Since it sounds like "fat", its use was generally followed with a "phat with a p" to clarify.

Making the short slang word void for being used easily and casually.

I did respect the approach of trying to change a word that's usually used to demean someone as a way to complement someone. But it just didn't stick.
