NO.

Spazz spazz spazz.

I can barely express how sick I am of being told to change which words I use for the sake of someone's feelings.

Someone tried to force me not to use “moron” because psychologists stole it and it hurts people’s feelings. Moron, moron, moron.

In this our Plague Era "moron" has become my favorite word. Feels so good on the tongue.

Did they steal "dumbasses"? I really like using "dumbasses" and I do it to hurt their feelings because they are dumbasses and I don't care about their feelings.

The thing is I like words sharp and direct that launch from the tongue like javelins.

"Dumbass" to me is too marshmallowy.

I agree. I once read a book called "Words Like Arrows", a collection of Yiddish sayings including a lot of pointed insults.

The best ones are indeed sharp and direct, like a good meme.

Have you read any of Michael Wex's books on Yiddish? That language is some minefield.

Didn’t Trump just call Biden an idiot in a speech? LOL

Keep in mind though that "idiot" is a wonderfully encompassing word too.

Trump was truth-telling.

Maybe he was also hurting someone else’s feelings. LOL

The person who tried to stop you from using "moron" is an idiot.

and don't forget the creeping cretinism.. Me thinks a lot of people need to watch Blazing Saddles (uncleaned up and censored), where "Jim" tells Sheriff Bart: These are people of the land, you know, morons." Maybe a few George Carlin videos on soft language as well. "cripples are differently abled."

Maybe it's actually AI intending to enforce political correctness here.

Nah TAM is a good person.

But I hate to say I agree with you on the usage of words.
