    Maybe to a psychopath. Any negative quality can be considered a slur by someone possessing it. A selfish person doesn’t like being called selfish, I suspect. I’m still going to call spades spades.

      The word is literally just Greek for mentally ill person. If you hate ps*chopaths, I’m going to assume you hate people for having depression, anxiety, or autism.

        What part of my entirely English sentence gave you the impression I was speaking Greek? Should we go back to PIE roots to find some more hidden bigotry?

          The word doesn’t mean anything in English. I assumed you were speaking Greek because otherwise you’d be babbling like a baby.

          Oh, well, it is a slur against disabled people in some dialects of English, I suppose.
