A friend of mine always was fond of using "mouth-breather", but it really did just end up making him impossible to be around with such an assertive and demeaning phrase.

I like 'vulgarian'. It's classic, true for most, and not even all that negative in some contexts.

>> No.3426110

It would be better to judge a situation in which one might use such a word and commit one of two options:

A. Ignore - most often the 'pleb' is a troll. It is used ironically in most cases here.

B. Explain - if one finds themselves in argument, one ought not commit ad hominem.

There is the bonus of adding the physical insult to the intellectual one. The word is quite unusual in this day and age and transports this subtle yet distant feel of shame mixed with low-brow mud.

Unwashed. yark, this is just unpleasant to bear.

"Plebs" do go outside. A vast majority are too busy having fun and enjoying themselves with friends to give a shit about literature or listening to whatever shit /mu/ is calling patrician this week.
