Fuck and shit just ain’t cutting it anymore.
I like calling people inanimate objects. Being angrily called a “fucking waffle” or a “God damned acorn” hits different than the normal curses and slurs

Write that down! Write that down!
“Listen up, lollipops!”
Guess what “glans” means.
For best results, it depends on the context.
For example, when I’m dealing with people who cannot (or refuse) to do the simplest of tasks, I’ve found myself muttering “ugh, just read the instructions I wrote you troglodyte”.
Classic. Troglodyte is an underrated one. I also like cretin.
You could go full British. “You absolute/complete/total (any noun)”
You absolute sponge.
You complete brick.
You total signpost.
Its all in the delivery. Say it with enough malice and anything is an insult.
**Puts on British voice
‘‘You tooting foghorn of ignorance’’
you UTTER building material
You fucking spanner.
Moist
But I don’t think tankies would mind being called “Moist”.
Oh, sorry, I thought you meant “Maoist”.
he he
Heard a lesbian once say they have the same reaction to the term “shaft”
It is a Dead Like Me series reference
Niggard/niggardly sounds like a really, really, awful choice for a word to describe someone cheap like Scrooge. It’s not a slur it just sounds way too much like one. The use of the word is controversial despite the only connection the two words share is how they sound.
I wouldn’t use the word around people though. Explaining how a word that sounds racist isn’t racist makes you appear to be more racist. It isn’t a slur but gets treated as if it was one.
✓ quite offensive ✓ not a slur X you probably still shouldn’t use it
The only reason people use this word is because it sounds like the slur. If you’re choosing words just so you can say “Actually, it’s technically not a slur,” you’re just being racist.
It never matters what is, only what people think, is.
This essentially sums up cutting education and ramping propaganda.
It could be argued that the term comes from racist roots and therefore using it is racist.
You could argue that if you make up the argument I guess.
In a professional setting: disappointment is the strongest word I’ve ever said to someone
Outside that? I don’t know if there is a good cutoff between slur/not slur… The one I vividly remember was old Chinese social media users (before the blockage) calling some people “Wumao” (translates to 50 cents). This is implying that the person is being a troll, and they did it because they were so pathetic that they accepted a 50-cent commission from the government to say good/bad things on the internet. Probably still the worst insult I could imagine till this day
Call someone sticky, and dont use it like an insult say it like you are being genuine. If they try to hand you something shy away and be like “oh um no I’m sorry, you’re just kinda sticky” garentee that’ll leave a mark
the answer is obviously “weatherboy”
Is that a reference to something?
Wouldnt you like to know Weatherboy
Muppet, munter, twat. Just start using UK insults
Champ.
Yahoo#1: “The Earth is flat, didn’t you know?”
You: “Alright, Champ.”
I’m french and I tend to swear using disgraced politician. You say “Sac à manuel valls” instead of “Sac à merde” ( Bag of shit ) and you can probably do the same with other well hated politician. There nothing like blamming Manuel Valls when my toe.
The only French I know is le chat mange. I’m a big fan of your language, even though it confuses the hell out of me.
It confuse the hell out of me too. The rules are confusing and there is often stuff that contradict itself.
I’m usualy make more mistake in french than in english. I even tend to speak english when I’m too tired because french consume too much brain power.
Must be nice to have disgraced politicians. Wouldn’t work in my country.
We’re not done yet. There’ll be a lot, but it might take a while.
You must have some, you just have to find them.
American
Bro said the A-word 💀
And if you wanna feel extra spiteful, use American’t
Lately I’ve been a big fan of “bungalow”, to signify that someone has nothing upstairs.
Not a word, but my favorite recent addition was when someone told me her husband, rather than flip people off in road rage situations, just looks at them and gives them a thumbs down gesture, and it makes them so much more mad. I’ve been doing it whenever I see Cybertrucks.
When in doubt about swearing look to the british. Cunt and bugger.
Since when is cunt not a swearword you fucking donut
um. he did not ask for something that was not a swear. He finds fuck and shit to be to boring to use. He wants a non slur. Granted you can reach and say cunt being female anatomy is a femal slur but given I hear it more used for men. eh. also maybe you can related bugger to gay but its a stretch to.
The range of invective is far richer than that. American terms of abuse are far more limited.
the British are SO GOOD at insults, if their accent wasn’t so damn hilarious roadrage would be terrifying
Presidential.
Come to the Netherlands and you can swear with all the diseases you want! Except cancer - some people will take genuine offense if you do that. But typhus, cholera, tuberculosis? Those are a-okay!
Liberal/fascist
People seem to use them to mean ‘people I don’t like’ regardless of the actual meanings of the words
Liberals call themselves liberals so how is that an hurtful insult or even an insult?
It just doesn’t sting enough
Republican
Definitely a slur
I love ones that make it seems like you’re talking down to a kid
Flapjack, pipsqueak, piece (as in “you piece”), dingodile, jackwagon etc.
On the subject of one that make it seem like you are talking down to a kid, my personal favorite is twip from Batman Beyond.
ChatGPT
Pimmel.
Piss slit
Fucktard
ending a word with “-tard” references the “r-slur” against disabled people. Regardless of if you still approve of its use (I don’t) it therefore misses the question asked.
“You leotard!”
It’s a portmanteau of a slur
I have a good one. Once a small machine shop in my hometown had their adjustable sign say “gravely bad-boy scag” which sounds like the best insult ever, but apparently all 3 are brands of lawnmowers that they sold.
Me and my sister still call each other scag to this day lol
Fungdark
Viz invented the word “fitbin” as the most offensive word ever.
Twat
cunt

A lot of Americans who say “fuck” will still lose their goddamn minds if you say “cunt”.
daggermoon@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah, I say cunt a lot as an American. My mom hates it which is at least partially why I love it. Shit cunt is my favorite variation.

Once the shock value of a simple ‘cunt’ has worn off, ‘thundercunt’ is my next escalation.

In America, it is a harsh term for the vagina. As a gendered term, it would be considered a slur. For some reason, "pussy" is more acceptable but carries the same connotations. The latter is used to describe a coward, while the former would be more akin to "bitch."
black_flag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I mean, it can be, but there are also other ways to use the term. It also is the only word in English that refers to the whole gentalia, not just the vagina or some other part. Gee I wonder why the word for female genatalia is considered dirty to a bunch of puritanical Americans. Reclaim it.

I was virtually raised by Australians so i’m a little more comfortable using that word than most people in America.

People in the small-town South don’t take it well when you call them sister-fuckers, either, as I quickly learned.
Didn’t stop me, though.

I know one, they get all bent over twat too
phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
In England, twat (pronounced to rhyme with “hat”) is barely considered rude.
