      None of the blockchain people I've met seemed even slightly like they had ever been associated with fraternities.

      That's what it used to mean! That's why I'm complaining about the creeping expansion of the category.

      It's now a slightly pejorative version of "dude"

      Debatable, I think there's a continuum from "neg" to "slur"

      Like I don't consider "bitch" a slur in general although it can be used derogatorily

      "Can get you fired" is not necessary for something to be a slur. But it is sufficient.

      That seems really broad because then "you fucking asshole" is a slur rather than just an insult

      I was presuming that it meets the minimum definition, a derogatory term for a particular group. Or embezzlement would be a slur. Whether something is a slur is intersubjective, offense being both given and taken. There's never anything that always qualifies. 1/2

      Still, I maintain that "he called me a bitch" is fireable in the States, and "she called me a bro" is not, and that the difference is slurriness, or slurritude, or perhaps slurraciousness 2/2

          Sure, I agree with that. But then the question becomes, who is the arbiter of what counts as a slur? Is "slur" a descriptive or normative designation? Like if a term denigrates a particular demographic and meets a nebulous level of maliciousness, then I think it's a slur

          So where I differ from Rev, assuming I interpret him correctly, is that I don't think "bro" is malicious enough to be a slur. But it's debatable, as classifications tend to be :P

          Slurs as a class are embattled semantic territory with real consequences for the winners and losers. There's power in what you can't say. I think it's fair to say that "bro" has broadened and become more insulting in recent years. Would I take umbrage? ... nah
