	Insult - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The examination of insulting language reveals the tensions between social classes and ethnic groups in modern society, where expectations are sometimes viewed as insulting by some and failure to comply with those expectations being seen as insulting by others.
		For example, in 21st century America, African American descendants of former slaves hold mixed views of the term "nigger", sometimes using it as a rugged form of mutual affection in popular culture, but resenting the term when used in pejorative sense, especially when spoken by members of other ethnic groups.
		Other African-Americans take offense at any use of the term even between friends, holding that even though it is shared affectionately perhaps as a sign of strength, it acts as a term of mutual degradation, and inevitably serves to degrade African-Americans in general.

		This is a diversity action for libel, business disparagement, and unfair competition, based on allegedly defamatory statements made in a publication carried on a computerized database.
		As discussed with respect to the libel claim, supra, plaintiffs have failed to meet their burden of setting forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue as to whether CompuServe had knowledge or reason to know of the April 1990 Rumorville statements.
		Because the utterance of a disparaging statement must be intentional in order to give rise to an unfair competition claim based on disparagement, CompuServe may not be held liable on plaintiffs' unfair competition claim if it did not know or have reason to know of the Rumorville statements.

	Etymologically Speaking...
		From the pre-Christian, Germanic term "riht", which was the sense of justice or balance that tribal elders attempted to achieve when determining the size of the "Bot." This is not to be confused with peace or "Friede," which could be achieved with differing amounts of "Bot" and was merely the cessation of fighting.
		The Russian term "tsar" (or "czar") originally came from the Latin term "caesar," which was adopted as a tile by Roman Emperors after the death of Julius Caesar, as a means of underscoring the legitimacy of their claim to power and of connecting themselves to Caesar's legacy.
		The term has come down to us in English as cipher, which means "empty" and refers to the zero column in the abacus or counting frame (see "abacus")(The term has also come down to us as "decipher," which means "to determine the meaning of anything obscure").

		Now even mainstream newspapers and mainstream polititians of both major parties are using the term -- not as a term of disparagement, but as a fair descriptor of the political views and actions of some Christian Right leaders.

		LEISURE, District Judge This is a diversity action for libel, business disparagement, and unfair competition, based on allegedly defamatory statements made in a publication carried on a computerized database.
		Regardless of the label used, the substance of plaintiffs' "business disparagement" claim is similar to the action for defamation recognized in Ruder & Finn, as well as the action for trade libel or injurious falsehood recognized in Waste Distillation Technology.
		The New York Court of Appeals distinguished this type of defamation in the commercial context from "product disparagement," which involves a false statement that "is confined to denigrating the quality of the business' goods or services" and requires that malice and special damages be proven.

		In fact, the terms are not just similar, they are identical except for the modifier, "good old." Both terms serve the same function — they are words used to belittle certain individuals.
		As a result, one of the terms is considered "protected speech" under the First Amendment while the other is denied such protection.
		And the manipulative use of language rationalizes the dissimilar treatment of the two terms as well as the dissimilar treatment of individuals under the law.

		M'Culloch and M. Say) who looking upon the word unproductive as a term of disparagement, remonstrate against imposing it upon any labour which is regarded as useful-which produces a benefit or a pleasure worth the cost.
		Production not being the sole end of human existence, the term unproductive does not necessarily imply any stigma; nor was ever intended to do so in the present case.
		But in applying the term wealth to the industrial capacities of human being, there seems always, in popular apprehension, to be a tacit reference to material products.
