I wish to make Fatuous, Insipid, Vapid and Melt fashionable terms again.

Alternatives to Ableist terms:

-: Crazy/mental/nuts

unreal, ridiculous, farcical, ludicrous, nonsensical
shocking, astonishing, unbelievable, unthinkable

-: Stupid

banal, fatuous, inept, insipid, oblivious, uninformed, unwise, vapid, incurious

-: Idiot/moron/cretin

asshole/arsehole, jerk, melt, wally, git, swine

What are your favourite non Ableist terms for the above ?

Ooh, "farcical" is a good one!

@Faintdreams
The third bunch of contrasted sets doesn't really match in my head. Mental weakness and moral failure aren't really the same thing (which is a point one is *actually* trying to make in combating ableism, hm?).

@pteryx I think I understand ? I copied a lot of the terms from somewhere else and the final batch - it's more about the person doing the wrong thing, doing so willfully.

You have to make choices to be an asshole, swine, git etc

I apologise for confusing concepts.

Just another example of English (as a whole) not being fit for purpose, but it's all I've got to work with :S

"Fuckwit" of a good sub in for "idiot I am really mad at"
