Is peanut gallery considered offensive?
That’s my favourite slightly derogatory term

Depends on who you ask, it's associated with the cheapest seats of shows, which historically tended to be the only place where Black people could sit, but apparently the term was popularized further by a 1940s/50s children's show with no racial connotations

Wait what. Interesting, I never knew that, I thought it was just some random thing someone said once so now we still say it. Like A Bird in the Hand is worth two in the bush
