yeah, or he may not even think about the actual meaning of the word, like no one calling someone a motherfucker actively thinks "this person fucks his mom". it's not nearly on the same level for me as what shaw said.

anyway, not excusing it, it's obviously a word that should disappear from people's vocabulary, but i think the people calling him a definite homophobe are being a bit much.

The insulting part of motherfucker isn't the literal belief that the target of the insult fucks his mom, but that fucking your own mother is in itself demeaning. Just like calling someone a cocksucker doesn't literally mean you think they suck cock, just that sucking cock is in itself demeaning.

I get what you mean, and I do think it's not on the same level, but whether he's consciously thinking of the actual meaning or not, that meaning is what the insult rests on.
