I'm not going to interfere with someone else being offended, I don't think that ever works. Not posting this:

"Much like today's widely socially acceptable terms idiot and moron, which are also defined as some sort of mental disability, when the term retard is being used in its pejorative form, it is usually not being directed at people with mental disabilities. Instead, people use the term when teasing their friends or as a general insult when in an argument." ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retard_(pejorative) )

I did once see someone shame a thinkpiece writer for using "idiot" and the writer apologized for being ableist.

Is it still okay to say lowbrow, barbarian or philistine?

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:21 (eight years ago)

"Philistine" is offensive to Palestinians.

― Monster fatberg (Phil D.), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:28 (eight years ago)

I'll continue to broadly use CHUD until the CHUD lobby strongarms people into using a more politically correct term.

― I believe I will have another helping of your scrumptious casserole (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:37 (eight years ago)

Do many people ask to stop using philistine as an insult?

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:38 (eight years ago)

Barbarian is only an insult if used against somebody who is Ancient Greek. Pretty sure lowbrow didn't originate as a dis on Neanderthals

― pulled pork state of mind (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:46 (eight years ago)

Cannibal-Americans are a much-maligned group, OL.

― looser than lucinda (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:47 (eight years ago)

the idea that idiot retains ableist connotations seems pretty idiotic, like the kind of thing a soi-disant grammar pedant would be wrong about

― pulled pork state of mind (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:48 (eight years ago)

actually a shambles is a slaughterhouse *pushes glasses up nose*

I thought lowbrow was anti-black?

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:50 (eight years ago)

general phrenology-type nonsense I think which had a racist component but wasn't exclusive in this case

― pulled pork state of mind (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:53 (eight years ago)

like I was sort of joking above because I think the physiognomical belief was that a low brow suggested caveman-like tendencies and therefore low intelligence etc and this was definitely applied racially but also across the class spectrum etc

― pulled pork state of mind (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:54 (eight years ago)

highbrow the concept as cultural praise originates in maybe the 1800s, from gall's phrenology (word is probably later): neanderthals were identified in the 1840s, and their qualities back-inferred from there (viz they must have been bad not good bcz brows low not high: thus the feelin-yr-bumps science, anyway)

in other words lowbrow did more or less originate as a diss on neanderthals, as did the adjective neanderthal :(

in fact it is we who are the monsters here (since we obviously entirely absorbed the entire strain, probably mostly by eating them)

it's their own fault for being so darned tasty

― pulled pork state of mind (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 14:03 (eight years ago)

idiot actually means 'someone who does their own thing' it's actually a celebration of individuality kthx

― imago, Wednesday, 18 October 2017 14:24 (eight years ago)

"Philistine" is offensive to Palestinians.

lol no it's not

― mookieproof, Wednesday, 18 October 2017 15:19 (eight years ago)

ok i thought it might be but i wasn't sure. there are people who sincerely believe that palestinians are philistines and so concluding that "philistine" as a pejorative is offensive is not so far-fetched.
