Picture the word someone throws out the second after a silly mistake — a door locked with the keys inside, a car cutting across three lanes. It aims at the person, not the action, which is why it stings: it is a name-calling word, and today it lives almost entirely in that quick, heated, spoken moment.

可以想成:有人做了一件蠢事的下一秒,旁邊脫口而出的那個詞——鑰匙鎖在車裡、有人硬切三個車道。它罵的是「人」不是那件事,所以才傷人。這個字今天幾乎只活在這種當下、情緒上來的口語場合裡,是一個帶攻擊性的稱呼。
