It might not be an expletive but there’s no context where it’s ever anything but an insult

Yes, and in reality that's how the word "obese" is used too I am explaining exactly why I think it's a *worse* insult because it's a *stealth* insult

‘Obese’ has a ton of use as a clinical term in the mainstream though. ‘Narcissist’ is not and has never been a stealth insult in any imaginable way. It’s purely an insult in every context outside the DSM5

It is, at the very least, a word with a very different tone from "asshole" It *purports* to be an objective description of someone's attitude or behavior

Yeah it’s a descriptive insult but lots of insults are descriptive. They’re still just insults.

It's a self-help/pop-psych thing, which at this point in our societal evolution means it's very quickly just becoming a universal thing

‘Narcissist’ as an insult predates the invention of psychology by centuries though.
