Bloodmouths and other strange insults

[White Lightning]

I don't know if anyone has googled the term "bloodmouth" recently, but it is apparently a new term militant vegans (not all vegans, mind, just the more angry ones) use to call meat eaters. This term is used along with "bloodwhore" and "carnist". My reaction to this is, well, pretty much the opposite of what I think they intended. By that I mean I think its pretty much the most metal name I can possibly be called, so i'm embracing the term. I love it. I am bloodmouth! Hear me roar!

Don't be a bloodouth, some Locust fucker is going to ride you:

That's a Bloodmount.

Some exta words so this post isn't too small.

I wouldn't mind being called a "bloodmouth" if I actually liked my steak rare. As it stands, though, I don't so I don't feel it applies to me. I'd happily welcome something more descriptive, like "fleshmouth" or "meatmouth". Damn, I'm getting hungry now.

Even if you did eat steak rare, that isn't blood, it's myoglobin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myoglobin], so the term 'bloodmouth' isn't applicable unless you actually rip the flesh from an animal with your own teeth.

OT: Tribalism, 'us and them' mentality. Nothing to worry about though, us carnivores are too busy being awesome.

When you fall into the same team as the mighty T-Rex you wouldn't need a support group either.

The best name I can think of for people adopting what was supposed to be a derogatory term, (as I think I too will do with Bloodmouth, which sounds like an awesome name for a band of vikings) is Yankee Doodle Syndrome, in reference to the American Revolution.

Spoiler: (I'm almost certain this is how it went, feel free to correct)

When it was too foggy for the armies to see each other the British soldiers would start singing Yankee Doodle to insult the Continental Army troops. The CA troops took a liking to this tune and, apparently, started singing it themselves.

(Anyone have a better name, bychance?)

OT: I'm pretty sure 'kraut' is/was an offensive term for germans, though it sounds like a kind of food to me. I once saw a cutout from a forum apparently popular with Anonymous members in which one of the nameless referred to someone with a screen name as 'namefag'. Really weirded me out that being identifiable could be perceived as wrong by anyone. [sub]Who isn't in the Bloodmouth Ninja Clan...[/sub]

I have a few strange ones, though I can't really remember where they came from
1/ "you're a turkey", back then it may have been common, but now it just sounds weird.
2/"Ugly as a salad", I just don't know.
3/ "Ice-cream-stealing, cama-drug-bumming, well-armed-penguin-fisting, psychotic-robot-crab-building, super-hobo" A mad lib I just made up, inspired by my book that I intend to write, maybe, no, "So a giraffe snorted you off a space station: the complete lunatic's guide to insane situations: in 2D."

Also, "eggplant".

Huh? What's an eggplant a derogatory term for? I might not get it because I'm Australian and insults are fairly culture specific...

In the Sicilian dialect of Italian, the word for eggplant is used as a derogatory term for black people. It has carried over to some places with large numbers of Sicilian immigrants.

That was damn entertaining! Bloodmouths sounds like an epic vampire thing. I shall use that term!

I always find "noob" to be a very strange insult. It just sounds silly. I see it thrown around everywhere. When someone is good at the game, they get called a noob. When someone is bad they get called a noob. Whenever I see someone use it I laugh at them, though that always leads into me getting called a noob too. It sounds so damn stupid!
