words that irk me

Stupid. Used as a Noun. A manager of mine use to brag about calling his Son in-law that because he had a stutter. I met the young man and all I saw was someone trying to carve their life out and was a Volunteer for a local Fire department.

Stupid actions maybe. But not stupid as a person. Call someone that and you lost me in the conversation....

Webster: "lacking interest or point" a stupid event. In other words, something that carries no meaning.
It can also be used as a noun...."A stupid person"!! Someone who stutters is not stupid.
