Are you a stupid or corrupt franchisee?

Language and the meaning of words change over time.

This is an antique card used in the game of charades. I don’t think that this was intentionally offensive at the time of printing.

You’re either:

1. on-the-take (complicit) or
2. a fool; a dupe in a rigged game.
