I’m just waiting for LW to develop its own variants of profanities.
“Have at thee, accursed frequentist!”
There’s “woo”.
Mhm. Not enough hard consonants, though—”woo that wooing wooer” doesn’t sound especially angry.
I suggest “materd” as a general insult, meaning “one whose MAp and TERritory Diverge.”
“Morong” might work as an allusion to “moron” and compression of “more wrong”. It’s a little more pronunciation-friendly than “materd”.
Like it.
Very likely everyone’s map diverges from the territory. An insult needs to have a more limited scope.
Hm. Agreed. I suppose I was thinking in terms of pointing out a specific, obvious case. “Being a materd” or something similar.
