 * I have the following two functions that I would like to combine into one, to 
   where I would pass in which term(name, slug, etc) I want to get out.
 *     ```
       function get_rug_terms_name($term) {
           $terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), $term);
           if( !empty($terms) ) {
             return implode(", ", array_map(function(WP_Term $term){
               return $term->name;
             }, $terms));
           }
         }
   
         function get_rug_terms_slug($term) {
           $terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), $term);
           if( !empty($terms) ) {
             return implode(", ", array_map(function(WP_Term $term){
               return $term->slug;
             }, $terms));
           }
         }
       ```
   
 * I was thinking something like:
 *     ```
       function get_rug_terms($term, $which_term)
       ```
   
 * and then return $term->$which_term;
    but that doesn’t seem to work. Feel like
   i am probably close, but just not quite getting it.
 * Any help would be great!!!
