Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Having swears that hit hard that aren't:
A) homophobic
B) sexist
C) religious
D) sexual
E) body parts
F) bigoted/slurs
G) demeaning or punching down
is difficult and very rare.
I hypothesize following some of these patterns but punching up at those/that which is unethical/bad whilst avoiding immortalizing that which doesn't deserve it, for true disrespect.
I think that by novelly correcting the common lexicon, we can attempt to redirect/rewrite values in society that need to change, by utilizing shame and rhetoric in a way that is more constructive than things like putting down healthy human acceptance, trauma, or class struggles.
You absolute walnut
Are you accusing me of nutting on the wall??
"Suck start a shotgun" is my go-to.
This makes sense, but I can't come up with any examples.
I'd also like an option for sneezing. Literally every society addresses sneezing with either a religious blessing or a with for good health. I understand that this comes from illness being a threat but now sneezing is more of an inconvenience than anything. I just can't find a way to tell whatever causes the sneeze to fuck off without the sneezer taking it as directed at them.
