"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," was a children's nursery rhyme which meant that though you can hurt someone physically, words cannot deeply harm a strong person. During the 21st century, it transformed[1][2][3] into, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will always hurt me."[4][5][6]

The quote originally appeared in 1862 in an article from The Christian Recorder, the publication of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.[7]

Conservatives have long opposed the weakening of society by social justice warriors, and have frequently hearkened back to the old "sticks and stones" expression.[8][9]
