    Mhmm that’s fair enough. I just think that there are very few options to insult someone without it being offensive against any particular group. Unless you go the full inventing insults route such as “May your muffins always come raw in the middle!” But those usually don’t pack a good punch except for the person who invented the insult, maybe.

    Heck, even a simple “You suck!” is sexist or homophobic, isn’t it? Because it derives from the thought that sucking someone off is a degrading activity. Or am I overinterpreting that one?

    Edit: Of course, another option is just to not throw insults towards people, which is what I do with almost anyone except really good friends who are jesting together with me.
