I admit to having uttered this word as a slur, in selfish anger, a time or many in the past. I learned this use of the word as a slur from an ex years ago. It's no longer in my vocabulary in this context.

BTW this doesn't make me a better person, just a bit wiser in my choice of words. I've got no business calling anyone names when I don't like to be on the receiving end of that myself. When my bad behaviour manifests itself it reminds me to strive to be better and that I am to live by the commandment in the Torah - "V'ahavta l'rayacha kamocha" ("You shall love your neighbor as yourself.) Something that is much easier said than done and is a constant struggle for everyone - humans being what we are and the world being what it is (as in far from perfect). I had this explained to me by a rabbi as "What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor."
