Alright folks I don't want this to be a struggle session so let's operate from "'stupid' and 'dumb' are ableist terms, now what?" I would like people to offer up alternative insults/negative remarks.
While I said I don't want it to be a struggle session, cool headed good faith discussion is also appreciated. This just came up with some comrades of mine and I couldn't find the last post about it so if anyone has the link that would be great too.
Related, in Welsh there's an insult - twmffat twp, it directly translates into English as idiot spout/funnel. Basically someone who is constantly chatting shit. Sometimes people'll shorten it to twmffat.
Is there an English equivalent I'm missing? Would directly calling someone a funnel have any emotional effect on 'em?
