Do you use hateful names?

Do you ever call the people you hate or do not like any derogatory names,
even in your head--- or aloud? Or do you tell them?


You know, moron, dunce, nutcase, etc.?
 

I never do that. I may have when I was younger but I have come to realize that I am on the low end of just about everything. I'm less intelligent, less educated, and know less about most things than most people.

Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem about you, Jillaroo.
It's called The Female of the Species

This bit is relevant

Unprovoked and awful charges—even so the she-bear fights,
Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons—even so the cobra bites,

I think everyone calls someone else a name at times, especially in certain situations. We do the name game too, none of which can be said on forum. :hee: Hard not to react if somebody with a cell phone in their ear starts to run you off the road on the highway...and then proceeds oblivious to the fact that they've been swerving between two lanes for the last couple of miles, and almost killed someone. It rarely happens, but if the occasion calls for it and a confrontation is taking place, I will use a name that suits that person to their face. The 'nicer' or more timid people might just call someone a name in their head, and it might be something like 'crazy' or 'jerk'. I find it very hard to believe people who say they never, ever do it...not even to themselves.
 
I must admit my favourite thoughts for some people are centred on the word 'mongrel' coupled with various other descriptors.

Rotten mongrel, dirty mongrel, lazy mongrel, and mongrel bastard. None of these are good although I quite like mongrel dogs but I call them 'bitzers'.
 
IF YOU'VE EVER DRIVEN A CAR IN SYDNEY & RECKON YOU HAVE NOT CALLED SOMEONE A DEROGATORY NAME
YOUR HAVING YOURSELF ON. THE WAY DRIVERS CUT YOU OFF,TAIL GATE YOU & YELL AT YOU, YOU AUTOMATICALLY
HAVE A GO BACK.:what::what::aargh::blah:
 
The reason why I prefer living in a quiet little ville in the middle of nowhere ?....

Simple !... very little contact with others, therefore nobody gets up my nose and hence, I don't have to cuss anyone !


Bugger !... I forgot mention that once a week, I drive to town to do the shopping and sure enough... plenty of bad mannered folk there. I usually just think bad words but generally speaking, I don't verbally abuse anyone.
 
Up here in the North, we have MUCH stronger words than "jerk"..
I won't get into it but one has to release their angry thoughts somehow.. If not in public, then to themselves, but it must be done in order to avoid ulcers as well as other ramifications..

By yelling to another as*h*le, you are only lowering yourself down to their level..
By calling them an as*h*le, you are only showing them what you think and they don't understand anyway..
By just standing there with the most sarcastic grin on your face and saying NOTHING, that aggravates them to NO end...


Bottom line... Do I use those words ???
You bet I do !!!!
 
Thumper, (in the Walt Disney - Bambi) said : If You Cant Say Something Nice? Then Best Say Nothing At All.
 
Of course I call people names. As OG said of you watch the news or listen to politicians you can't help it.

In fact I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't have some useful names for some of the idiots in the world.

Moss, Thumper never heard our politicians or he would change his tune.
 
Like Terra I live in a manner in which I have little contact with people, and I like it that way.

Still ... just walking 5 minutes to the store and back I usually always get the opportunity to sharpen my cussin' vocabulary with the drivers that see me as part of their Frogger game.
 
I'm pretty loose with cuss words. I can swear with the best of them. Learned a lot of new ones when I went into the Army, but now adays you hear it every day.

One of my favorites is dipsh-t. This one is popular while trying to navigate through traffic.
My grandpa use to say: crow-pick-a-rumptoe. I haven't the foggiest idea what this means.

My wife's strongest phrase is: razzinfrazz.
 
Of course I do, but only in my head these days. I agree with Steve just smiling back at those who do it to me upsets them more than anything I could say back.

I like all 4 of those Warrigal, never used the name mongrel to call someone, but have used rotten, dirty, lazy and bastard tagged onto another word. :p:p

Some advice here Drifter. Don't sell yourself short, many others aren't as smart as you think, or as they appear. Learning from books doesn't mean everything in this life, it's your journey and experiences...or street smarts that make the difference. Sometimes people with the biggest egos, are worth the least.

I'm not very knowledgeable about a lot of things, many things go right over my head. But I don't fret about it, or put myself down...I know about the things that are important to me, that's all that matters.

It's good that you don't name call at all, and I bet that you know a lot of things that can't be learned from books, you're likely a very kind person that's worthy of as much admiration and love as any of us. You are definitely not at the low end of everything, shake off that description, you're not worthy of it! :love_heart:
 
Having been involved in medieval re-creations for many years I picked up a lot of colorful words and phrases to use on people that tick me off.

Unfortunately, using those phrases on most people is like fighting a blind midget quadriplegic - you know you're going to win the battle, but there's little honor or satisfaction in it.

I have to agree with that, I get more satisfaction by not answering than sounding off, which is a waste of energy.
 
Come to think of it, they aren't hateful words, they are very apt descriptions of different types of people and how they react in certain situations. Kind of like adding my own colorful commentary to life and some of the more furstrating situations and people I run across.

I think this is where I have a problem abusing people with strong or any other language. I don't think I have any right to deliver gratuitous character assessments to strangers simply because they irritate me. My face probably says it all for me anyway. On this matter I align myself with Drifter but in my assessment he underrates himself. I have always found his posts very worthwhile and not at all unintelligent.
 
I've got too much Italian in me to just stand there and be polite - I gotta' let 'em know what I'm feeling! :cool:

I've Gotta Be Me
(apologies to Sammy Davis Jr.)

Don't know if it's right, whenever you're wrong
To call you a jerk or a rat or a creep or a schlong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am
I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up my screams
That say you're so jive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me ...
