    Lots of things work like that. It’s called connotation (personal definition and significance), which does not require denotation (an actual definition)

      Yeah sounds like the definition of a slur

        Slur, “an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation.” So, yes. I’m not particularly worried about slurs against tankies, just like I don’t care about insulting or harming the reputation of nazis

        ETA: pigs is a slur for cops, that’s a slur I don’t mind either
