Reading this really put it into perspective how context changes the meaning of words. Because if that came at the end of an argument, then yeah, it would be a potent insult.

But they way you worded this I instantly pictured someone standing up, pointing at a woman, saying "stupid gash" and walking off as she devolves into hysterics. And that's the funniest thing I've thought of all day.

'Development' used in the context of industrialization.
'development' sensu life is super cool.

See that's the thing it's the context that the word is used in, not only that but the idea it evokes that offends.
For example if you called me a chomskyhonk that would first evoke the idea of me as a chomsky honk, which would what would do the offending, only after would I actually interpret being called a 'chomskyhonk' as me being a Chomskyhonk.
You see perception of the linqistic sign 'Chomskyhonk' considered in it's pragmatic context first evoked the idea of me being a Chomsky honk which was interpreted my both emotional (offensive) and abstract( I am a Chomsky honk) semiotic agents each intrepreting the sign in their own way, then the abstraction of me as a Chomsky honk may itself be interpreted emotionally, adding to the emiotional distress, which in turn can evoke a further image of me as a cry baby Chomskyhonk, or numerous other things. Then for it to be offensive requires it to be interpreted by a semiotic agent as such.
In the same way I just described the experience of "offense" does as well. I'm sure the emiotion of offense is a sign taken from a more general emiotion in a particular context.

You see this is a semiotic question and there are lots of questions to ask, who knows maybe you can make a model that can be used to infer what the most offense word is.

Pls study semiotics, it's foundational.

>even without using it in a derogatory way?
When I was younger (circa 1978 or so) I made use of the word "Jew" in a purely non-deprecative manner in order to identify a person for means of generating a discussion about a specific point of reasoning. This immediately derailed the conversation, which subsequently never took place. I was admonished for using the word and I was told that this was a vile word that was used to insult a specific group of people. I asked what word I should have used to describe this person instead and I was given a long winded speech that amounted to nothing of note except that this moniker was forced on them by others outside of their group - and I was given no resolution. To this day I am unaware of any term that could have been used in lieu of "Jew". As the years progressed, Jews even began to call themselves Jews and they even have "Jewish temples" and "Jewish cultural centers". They still don't want any outsiders discussing them, though - and their ears perk the moment the hear the word. I find a parallel in the Mormons. They were defensive for years about the word "Mormon" - expecting those that were not part of their group to call them "Disciples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints". When I called them on their bullshit, they told me to call them by the abbreviation "LDS" - which I immediately rejected.
>Why, anon? What is wrong with "LDS"?
>You just told me to call you a "saint". That's bullshit.
This was totally unrealistic and they finally surrendered. If they had chosen something reasonable then they could have chosen their own name. Now, they recognize the name "Mormon" for themselves and even use it in their public advertising. (inb4 "Book of Mormon". They did not call themselves "Mormons".)

I have been in many varying social circumstances that involved violence or near violence events. I have seen aggressors get held by their peers and I have actually witnessed an unironic, boisterous "Hold me back or I will kill him" moment that was answered by a cool "We'll see who does the killing". Many people love to feign the aura of violence so they tinker with the idea knowing, sometimes erroneously, that the social circumstance will not allow the victim of their charade to respond with actual violence.
>wrong time
>wrong day
>wrong event

Life is a subtle melange of all of these and more and you truly never know for sure what you will get when you seek solace in unprovoked violence against an innocent party. Fortune usually favors the aggressor but even Caesar knew he was casting a die.

There were already truncated terms in use that were not intended to be pejorative. "Nazi" was chosen as a pejorative alternative.
