Iā€™m trying to replace the ā€˜Bā€™ word in my vocabulary as it often doesnā€™t feel right and has an unfair gender bias. I gottaā€™ say, Iā€™m not finding it that easy to replace though.
I would never call someone that for being earnestly unpleasant though.

Jerk? Idiot? Peon? Piss ant?

Or if youā€™re more upset, how about fuckwad? asswipe? shithead?

@jsroberts pointed this out elsewhere, itā€™s a thing of beauty:

My goal was not to single you out or destroy your day. You made assumptions that people would automatically label you misogynist based on your comments, and you managed to fulfill that prophecy by explaining your position poorly (I do this ALL THE DAMNED TIME, seriously I should have a doctorate for sticking my foot in my mouth).

Everyone has their struggles, and to other people on the outside looking in, it doesnā€™t look so bad. ā€œItā€™s only one time, why are they freaking out?ā€ What they tend to forget is that the person ā€œfreaking outā€ is currently engaged in the process of death by a thousand cuts. One or two tiny little cuts arenā€™t so bad (those would be the ones observered by the outsiders) 1000 tiny little cuts is excruciating (that would be all the other cuts the outsiders arenā€™t privy to).

So when someoneā€™s reaction to a situation seems overblown, it could be that they have been dealing with this situation many many many times before and it has finally pushed them over the edge. Criticizing them or telling them to get over it will not improve their mood.

Those are fine. They lack that slight (and perhaps not universal) undertone of affection. It occurs to me that I only use the ā€œBā€ word in reference to males or objects or situations. Stillā€¦ it is definitely starting to chafe a bit. Iā€™ve been trying ā€œdick cheeseā€ or just ā€œpenisā€ but of course those have gender as well. Ah well, change is constant.

And @MaiqTheLiar, I started a whole thread on that called Appropriate Insults. We can be jaunty, sharp witted, and insulting to the person, not the group just as easily. Which for me is more satisfying anyway.

In regards to RBF, I think I am developing Resting Jowl Face :slightly_smiling:

But seriously, most people frown most of the time. Shouldnā€™t it just be called ā€œpeople face.ā€

Horny? FFS, that first one looks like it has foaming testicles coming out of its mouth! Does its penis pop out of its nose or an eye socket?

Or perhaps Normal :smile:
My resting face honestly is usually not a frown or a smile, but a furrowed brow. I am gonna have epic crows feet.

Chronic pain? Sad because most friends and family have already died, so no good company in old age? Neurological changes associated with aging, resulting in paranoia and depression? etc.

Also, fwiw:

Yeah I seem to remember now that itā€™s camels and giraffes which possess hair growing on the insides of their cheeks, in their mouths. Adaptation for eating thorny forage so they donā€™t get their mouths torn apart: http://www.myeasyarabic.com/site/camels.html. I once got to pet a baby giraffe. Wow, the inside of its wee mouth was hairy.

As for all that slobber, itā€™s clear that a resourceful culture can draw true inspiration from it. Mmmm yum!
