[QUOTE="Chesterton, post: 73107882, member: 225709"] No, historically it was just a slang derivation of an existing word made up by a scientist. It was like calling potatoes "taters". That seems like some deep psychiatry there. I'd like a link or something. How do you know that? And wouldn't it be worse if it didn't "spring to mind", i.e., if one premeditated the use of the word with the intent to insult? All insult words - "fatso", "idiot", "four-eyes", "ginger", etc., are meant to demean. We all must choose how to respond. I don't think anyone should respond to any word by leaving a woman lying on the sidewalk gushing blood out of her head. [/QUOTE]
