Words have certain meaning, power, implication and even consequence.

[MrScorpio]

Slurs (racist/sexist/abelist/etc) are particularly empowering for some and de-powering for others.

If you think that it's a good idea to use them in MIXED company, perhaps it's a time for a little self-awareness of your surroundings.

Just never forget that the words you use say more about your own character and state of mind than anything else.

Cheers!
