I saw someone on Bluesky admonishing people for using “moron” because it was once a real medical term applied to people who were judged to be too stupid to reproduce and were hence sterilized, thus its a problematic term. You can’t hand me a word with such connotations and then say “but you can’t use it.”

Fuck me, I thought it was just another word for stupid and there is so much idiocy in the world today that I need every word I can get, but it’s so stupid you aren’t allowed to reproduce? Fuck yes!

Now I can call someone a moron, and educate them about exactly how fucking idiotic they are, and let them know they are a prescriptive Darwin Award winner.

Also, cocksucker is a perfectly cromulent term. Hit people with the insults that hurt them. They are supposed to be offensive. I want to offend. Not that I don’t have some lines I won’t cross, but cocksucker definitely isn’t one. Folks can get in line behind my wife to be insulted by that language, and they’ll be waiting a while.
