What word offends you most? What is the worst thing you would call a person? (mom, issues)

[spiderbear]

B*tchy...when I'm assertive
Entitled...when I demand equal pay
Sl*t....when I know what I want
Floozy...because I actually get it
A nice piece of *ss...when I dress nicely
"Shorty"....because I don't find that demeaning at all


You know, the stuff all women whine unnecessarily about.

How can someone call anyone a loser? By what standards? If one does what they enjoy in life and is happy that is all that matters. You're only a "loser" if you think you are one! I don't care what anybody thinks though thankfully!

Mmmmm, I have to disgree. There are losers out there. If doing what they enjoy in life means causing harm to themselves or others, they're losers. JMHO.

I agree with you on total strangers on the other side of an internet connection presuming to define you based on their own limited thinking. Though, you can get a pretty clear picture of what kind of people they are. Funny how that works.

The c word and the n word are the worst in my book! Both words make me cringe when I hear anyone say them!

There are no words that offent me, people can call me whatever they want. I've been called a ton of racial slurs, it's marginally annoying but I don't get upset about. I rarely call someone a derogatory name, but once and a while I might think it LOL. I don't feel bad about just thinking it, I can think whatever I please. The worst thing I've ever actually called someone was a f'in redneck and, frankly, they deserved it.

PassTheChocolate: Almost anything people do can cause harm to themselves or others. Driving a car, for instance. If I'm a loser for doing dangerous things then so are most people. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean..........

I hate when people use the word "gay" as a pejorative. Or even the word for cigarette as an insult. It just reeks of immaturity. I don't think I've ever seen a semi-intelligent human being do this.

But I genuinely believe that there are some people who behave in a way that invites(and legitimises) constructive verbal honesty.

[pigeonhole]

-"Egghead" : I see too much of them at work
-"Airhead" : I see too much of them everywhere I go
- "*****" : unfortunately synonym with "woman" nowadays
- "son of a B..." their number seems to grow exponentially lately
- "ignorant":
-"stupid":
-"vulgar":

No comment.

The worst thing to call someone is something that cuts deep. You would have to know them on a personal level to really get under their skin. To me that's fighting dirty though. Aside from that, typical name calling shouldn't get your feathers too ruffled unless they are referring to an outwardly obvious trait of yours, like calling an obese person a fat slob or something to that degree. The best way to handle verbal insults is to diffuse the word with wit and humor, it renders the offender powerless and makes them look petty and foolish.

Nothing really offends me but I do know, from experience, that men DO NOT LIKE TO BE CALLED the "B" word.......I've called several of my EX's that, during heated arguments, and let's just say, it usually didn't end well...

Inmature....That usually gets in their nerve.
