So many insult words are problematic. But clearly there are plenty that are fine. Like piss-face. Please help me add to my dictionary of put down words, so I’m not going “um… you” next time I’m angry.

Honestly, just dismiss them. If others are watching/listening in, mock them and their arguments like they’re not there. You’re not going to change anyone’s mind in a confrontational setting, so don’t try. And lastly, just move on while they’re still engaged

In a normative case every insult we have now is derrived from some regretable social drive.

Fool used to be a medical diagnosis.

I think the real golden path is to transcend the need for them

Fool is funny to me always bc my baby brained dad read the Bible verse:

“ But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, ‘Raca,’ shall be in danger of the council; but whosoever shall say, ‘Thou fool,’ shall be in danger of hell fire.

And interpreted as “saying literally the word fool to someone is the worst thing you can say to someone and means you’re probably going to hell” which I found out by jokingly calling him fool once lol
