Re: Worst slur?

I'm interested to see the replies, too. I remember recently there was a thread where someone said they were "such a spaz" and some people pointed out how that was a really offensive word, and I'd never even known that was offensive or how it was used in other countries. It's the same as when I learned the history of the word "gypped" and realized how messed up it was, and yet most people don't seem to know it has more meaning to it.

It'd be interesting to see which words people consider most offensive in different countries around the world.

I hate that. I do not consider it a slur, but it irks me more than most slurs.

Do you hate it in all contexts, or just when someone says they'll pray for you because you're (if I'm reading context correctly) not religious?

Well, the reason most people don't know it has more meaning to it is because that meaning had largely been obscured by time. I'm not entirely sure it's a good thing that the trend has been reversed, as the net result is that we suddenly have a lot more slurs than we did, and a lot of arguments and wank arising from situations where nobody would have been offended at all if somebody hadn't 'rediscovered' the old meaning.
