'Moron', and 'dopey'. Not so much.
Notice all the kids in the playground calling other boys 'gaylords'.
Notice how few run around calling other boys 'straighlords'.
Not understanding this is what makes you dopey and moronic, which are useful insults - because people typically don't feel happy about being moronic & dopey.
Of course, I wasn't aiming the watermelon comment at you. It was in response to this:
My "issue" is with those that have used it pursue their own agendas - mostly anti capitalism control freaks/socialists.
You may thank me for effectively doubling your IQ later (that was an insult, btw).Comment

Watermelon is a word that tells you what is wrong with the climate change debate.
For some libertarians, it is the insult that expresses what greenies and climate scientists are really up to. Behind all the acronyms and the jargon, they say, is a conspiracy to promote a nakedly political aim – anti-big business; anti-free market; pro-tax increases. In short, green on the outside but red on the inside.
You're welcome.
