As someone who has never personally been subjected to homophobia, I feel like I am the final authority on which homophobic slurs are bad and which ones are not actually homophobic and I am allowed to use with abandon and no one can judge me for using them. If you disagree you are simply letting personal biases get in the way.

I half remember a NZ made kidult drama-as-public-service thing where a guy addressing a bunch of kids talks about how the word arose from burning gay people along with the witches. No idea if any truth to it but got the message across.

Also always assumed that Uncle Monty from Withnail and I's 'I mean to have you even if it must be burglary! ' meant that turd burglar was Shakespeare.

I knew a guy who used to use ‘you loving stupid idiot’ and something about it really cut deep. Like idiot wasn’t enough, you’re a particularly stupid one.

Also seconding anything to do with mines and the circus being ripe for insults.

One of my favourites is ‘who put 20p in you?’ As its a question and in no way responds to what the person was saying, it catches people off guard.

It’s the vitriol in it, I think. Insults are one thing but the way those three words sound when chained together communicates a whole other level of disgust for the person you’re talking to.

The best insults are so baffling that your target loses track of the conversation, yet he still ends up convinced it was a mortal insult even if he doesn't know what the insult actually was

Adding a random word to a slur or swearword just sounds childish, but completely random words strung together with the right vitriol will absolutely be show stoppers

I guess you could pretend these are comparable, but they really aren't. The f word in question has been widely known to be a homophobic slur since like the early 1900's and hadn't really been used to mean the bundle of sticks thing since like the 1700's. So your strawman example here kind of sucks.

Whereas I guarantee you almost no one outside the internet hears "turd burglar" and assumes it's a homophobic slur. Hell you maybe haven't even heard of the term unless you watched Beavis and Butthead or South Park.

Dude, I had no idea of the origin of turd burglar specifically coming from a homophobic comic in the middle of a homophobic rant and I knew it was homophobic. And while I probably fall into the terminally online category this thread is the first time I've come across the term since grade school.

Most of the insults brought up have been loving terrible, I'm sorry but I cannot stay silent on this. You can't force a new swear, just make good use of the ones you have (that arent slurs), I promise you they will stretch further than you think.

I want to add, Americans, don't use British swears. If you say "loving knobhead" in an American accent you will sound like a right wanker.

I can assure you it is still used to mean a bundle of sticks. Due to one of my projects at work it comes up a lot, I don't use it as it just weirds me out but the non online folk I work with wouldn't even think of the slur meaning at all.

Yeh in the U.K. the f word is used about 50 times a day by smokers and no one even thinks of it as a slur outside of the internet - the caveat to that is that online British people are hyper aware of what it means to Americans and are super careful to say cigarette instead.

It’s a pity that a few people in this thread don’t do us the same courtesy when they are going “lol I bet turd burglar is a funny funny phrase when said in a British accent so I’m going to defend my right to say it at all cost”. When it was invented by a British man who could be compared with Rush Limbaugh when it comes to gay rights.

I know. Seems weird. Tbh the fact I'm in England might have something to do with it. All I've ever heard here used as a slur (and not exactly much) is the abbreviated version, despite it meaning cigarettes as well. These aren't chuds or anything either, I should point out - and we work for a very left leaning/inclusive government agency.

Anyway. Still means a bundle of sticks. I don't use it regardless.

I really don’t recommend using the word, but I’m pretty sure I’ve come across it used innocently in works more recent than that.
“At last reluctantly Gandalf himself took a hand. Picking up a human being he held it aloft for a moment, and then with a word of command, naur an edraith ammen! he thrust the end of his staff into the midst of it.”

I don't know how much Tolkien counts though because he liked old words but both the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings use it that way....At least I hope so.

Excuse me no. I’m sat here having spent years of my life fighting for LGBT+ rights and you have no idea how much it pisses off butch lesbians like me to have people casually propagating this myth.

In this country we have a problem with a tiny minority of very loud middle class Tories, plus about 4 grifting “political lesbians” who have allied themselves with American Christian anti-LGBT pro life fundamentalists in order to campaign for the reinstatement of section 28.
