beak I too can look up words in a dictionary but what you seem to be conveniently ignoring is that those words used in the CONTEXT in which you use them become as you say "a slanging match" and deeply offensive in certain aspects! How would you like it if I walked up to you on the street and called you a scab and a whore?
But hey when you have no argument you seem to resort to this dictionary prowling!
It strikes me that the words you use to describe the others you so disdain could be applied quite aptly to yourself. Surely this is a severe case of the pot calling the kettle black?
