New York Mayor Eric Adams did not mince his words about his disapproval of what he called the large number of “nasty” Gen Z voters supporting Zhoran Mamdani, the democratic socialist candidate leading the race for NYC mayor.

    The use of the word “nasty” . I mean when do intelligent people say that? When’s the last time anyone reading this post said " that salesperson is nasty" or " that price point is nasty"? Five year olds say shit like that …Trump has dragged down language for the dumber half of the country and now they all have poopy pants. Freaking grow the hell up and get some eloquence in your conversation. /Rant

      I use it to describe wounds e.g., a nasty cut, or a nasty bruise. It’s also an appropriate term for something that is nauseating to see or experience.

      But thanks for the insult. Makes you seem super intelligent.

          I’m not attacking your vernacular, by the way.

          The voting public has the reading level of a third grader if we are lucky.

          Apple doesn’t use $10 words in their ads for the same reason.
