You didn't address your misuse of "girl" which I pointed out. Now you've used "moron", "imbecile" and "mentally deficient" all of which are (outdated) psychology diagnoses. And "mouth breather" which... the meaning is right there. Oh and "dumber" ("dumb" means "unable to speak").

It seems to me that you actually don't have any problem with misusing words. Except for one specific word. Why's that, I wonder?

Outdated? You mean the euphemism treadmill took them over? Exactly like I'm warning about pedophile? Oh no, it's exactly what I said.

Eat shit and die.

Oh, don't worry, it's not what you think. I redefined "eat" to mean "live" because eating is how you live. "Shit" now just refers to something long. And "die" is used ironically now to mean "prosper". So really I said "love long and prosper", the words just evolved is all. You shouldn't take offense. Language evolves. It's perfectly fine to take established words and completely change them like you said.

So again, eat shit and die.
