Using 'n-t' as an insult perpetuates pseudoscientific mental health labels created to used to institutionalize women (particularly women of color) for simply speaking up or challenging authority.

'i--t' is a weaponized clinical term from the eugenics movement of the early 20th century, where IQ tests were used to justify forced sterilization of BIPOC individuals and women with mental health conditions being disproportionately targeted.

I know your goal is to "be mean" to a relative who isn't here(?), but it actually helps your case of not looking like a fascist when you DON'T pick terms coined by actual fascists used to oppress marginalized communities.

Yet you are so casually using harmful words like "idiot" and "nut", which are ableist and offensive. Please educate yourself before spewing harmful, ableist language in the future:
