Okay though because I'm starting to see a whole lot of usage creep: I feel like "slur" shouldn't just become a synonym for "word that people use in mean ways".
@starkatt it *would* be sort of useful to have terminology for "this is generally an innocuous term but can be used as a derogative (sp?)."
@Leucrotta I think that's just "insult"?
@starkatt @Leucrotta I really want to suggest something like "thumb-biting" but I don't know how to make that more pithy...
@starkatt Yeah, this please.
And I don't just mean the "terf is a slur" nonsense; it's something I'm seeing in my own spaces.
