Here in Canada in the 00s I remember it being a really bad slur. I haven't really heard it used at all since then though

    Which is hilarious, because in new England a "packy" is a package store, which is a euphemism for a liquor store.

    So I got quite a few looks when I asked if we were going to "hit the packy" on the way to the party....
