Etymology is cool. Too bad it doesn't have any effect on what a word meaning is today because when I say you're being silly, I'm not using the original Middle English meaning, which is 'blessed.' I mean you're being silly.

Also, psychiatrists do not use that word to mean 'asexual' either.

Telling people that Trump is neurodivergent and his evil is caused by being disabled is also fucked up. It simultaneously garners sympathy for a fascist and villifies disabled people.

And now you're just being dishonest. He was called a narcissist, not someone with narcissistic personality disorder.

It's not a crime to say you were wrong, you know.

You're the one who brought up NPD. If it's not a slur against disabled people it's a slur against asexuals. You're completely ignoring the influence of Christopher Lasch's book on pop culture vernacular.

Let me preface this by saying that when I tell you "stop being daft, dude," I am not suggesting you cease to be a well-mannered city person who doesn't know how things work around here.

So stop being daft, dude.
