for having called him that in the past. “They”; who subjected us to a revolving door of vile press secretaries, Spicer, Sanders, Kelly Anne. I hate hypocrites.

pro-Democratic site. I know "they" went after Psaki over it. The use of it I have seen comes in two flavors. Those who view Graham as a "fussy old southern dowager" archetype, prone to get the vapors in the presence of any "incivility of discourse", and a snarky reference by gays to Graham being a self-hating, closet case.

Having lived in SC amongst the Red Rabble, I picked it up as the former, and learned of the latter in the last decade.

of context.

The context of words is more important than the dictionary definition. To simply state that word "x" may not be said by anyone not a member of group "y" under any circumstance, is idiotic, reductive, and makes academic conversation ludicrous.

It fits, and nobody here has become religious about that label.
