    I believe that dipshit is the best insult. If you call someone a bitch or asshole, it’s like a badge of honor, but dipshit r is kind of emasculating and really captures the whiny middle schooler inside while also sounding like just a silly word.

            Yeah, no. The broad American public wouldn’t like that. Right or wrong, lots of people hate that word even when directed at someone who is being one.

            Some people get weirdly super pissed when you use that word. I have no idea why. I have seen multiple people freak the fuck out randomly whenever it’s been mentioned out loud. They won’t care about other cursewords, only “cunt” specifically, it’s very strange.

              It baffled me for a while until I realized that some people take it as a reduction of them to that body part. Like “the only useful part of you is your cunt/dick”.

              I always saw it as more of a metaphor, dicks fuck things up, assholes make things shitty, cunts are fucked (and each of those are metaphors since I don’t think there’s anything wrong with literally fucking or being fucked as long as everyone involved is good with it).

              Though I still don’t understand why people give others the kind of power over them where they can upset them with their choice of words, before the meaning of their message even comes into play.
