By the nobles?

Last time someone got offended by the use of the word moron towards his 
character, thinking it was amied at the player. He suggested I pretty much 
learn Old English for the linguistically correct insults.

Does it matter which order the words came into being? That is simply unfair, 
especially to those who want to RP in the lightweight game, or those who 
don'tspeak english as a first language. No self-respecting noble would use 
the F-word publicly to insult anyone anyway. He or she'd get fined for 
"behaviour unbefitting a noble", most likely.

The Internet is truly a wealth of exotic and meaningful information. Each 
new nugget of knowledge it brings to me makes me a little bit stupider.
