Top Ten Things Used as Insults that Shouldn't Be

There are kids at my school who use "Jew" as an insult and salute Hitler. If I needed a decent insult, then I'd call them "mentally challenged" or "retarded." Either way, calling someone a Jew as an insult is ridiculous.

Believe it or not, I have seen someone call another person that on the Internet. It is the equivalent of saying, "You like apples!" in an accusing tone. Yeah, what about the apples?

I just hate how you can't like pink as a male. Of course, I won't wear pink clothes or have a pink bedsheet, but I can't even write with a pink pen?

It's ridiculous how some people like to call everything "gay." Pink? Gay. Green? Gay. Rainbow? Gay. Purple? Gay. Cats? Gay. Being kind to others? Gay. Speaking about your emotions? Gay. Non-metal music? Gay. Come on.

1. Being gay doesn't mean you're less masculine.
2. There is nothing feminine about the above-listed things.
3. You're not masculine just because you hate and torture people and wear black leather clothes.

I've never really heard this used as an insult by anyone at my school.

Also, I feel like this has gotten more popular as an insult ever since 9/11.

Some people actually are Muslims and aren't ashamed of it. Plus, you never see someone using Christian or Hindu as an insult.

I don't like the idea of religions being used as insults.

People use this as an insult? I know they use the N-word, but just black? Why?

That sounds like something used as an insult in the 1800s and early to mid-1900s.

I literally saw a diss track aimed at RiceGum that used this term in an insulting manner. I know it's aimed at someone who isn't really the best person out there, but trying to use their ethnicity as the punchline of a roast sounds more like it's targeting the entire race and not the individual who happens to be part of that race.

I don't understand how being called "Asian" could be considered an insult.

This can be used as an insult towards someone obsessed with anime, but weeaboo is a more accurate term.

Using autism inappropriately as an insult is not only about calling someone autistic. There are also common phrases like "it gives me autism." I haven't noticed any real meaning behind this insult because it seems to have little relevance to autism (many famous people like Napoleon were slightly autistic).

Thanks a lot, fidget spinners.

Now everyone uses this as an insult, and no, it doesn't mean "retarded." It means you have impaired social skills, but some autistic people can learn to develop social skills and become "normal" or whatever.

Isn't that insult outdated? I thought people used nerd and geek as insults in the 20th century.

Translation: I'll be working for you in ten years.

I'm proud to be a nerd. I take it as a compliment.

Why would this be used as an insult? The same can be said about calling someone disabled, cancerous, and much more. It's just lying.

I actually taught the mentally challenged in my senior year of high school. There's a big difference between them and you and me. It's a low blow to call someone retarded.

So calling people autistic will result in you getting hate, but you can use this word and not get any hate? And I'm saying that as an autistic guy.

Ah, yes. One of the most common insults out there. One of my friends was called a terrible actor by a reviewer in a tabloid, and he spent the last 48 days suffering from severe depression.

This is a common insult on this website. What if I said the same thing about your favorite actor or actress? How would you feel?

People see overrated as a bad thing, but it really isn't.

Reasons I hate it when people use mental disorders as insults:

1. They are often false accusations because the person may not have that mental disorder in real life.
2. They are often used out of context.
3. They use unpopular opinions as symptoms of mental disorders that aren't even symptoms in real life.

One time on BuzzFeed, someone said people who say Halo Top is the best ice cream flavor have an eating disorder. I replied with the real definition of an eating disorder because of that stupid insult.
