To the OP: The problem for me is that regarding my own temper & anger sometimes, I just do not WANT to grow up. It gives me a feeling of satisfaction and minor release of frustration, depending indeed on the context of the situation, to just use the most terrible name-calling versus my "attacker".....I'm probably still a little boy, but holy shit it can help me having a better mood the rest of day !
In my native language we have the most bizarre cursing and name-calling. In Dutch we even go so far by using terrible deceases like cancer, AIDS, Herpes in front of a cursing word...FOr example, as OP's example "faggot", we (seriously) place "cancer" in front "faggot", leading to "cancer-faggot".....And If I explain this ti UK speaking ppl, they are completely in shock and call the Dutch sick ppl. they are quite right, I agree.
