So first of all, you could use swear words most commonly, they would be used to express anger or pain. Then against disability, you have words like spastic. It's offensive for a reason, because you're using a disability as just as an insult in a very different way. Can feel how the atmosphere has changed already on this podcast, doesn't it? Because we're into uncomfortable territory. Yeah, racist. And that gives you an idea of how taboo and how unacceptable these words are in normal society. We find it very hard to joke about words like this
