I'm usually pretty good at picking up on such nuances, but I'd never think of reading that as an insult. Maybe a joke, but even then, not a very good one. Good to know for future reference, though, to prevent any further losing of the mind, so to speak. G*d knows I have little enough to spare.
It's like you're pretending the word is so repugnant to you that you don't want the full word dirtying up your comment history. It lies in the same vane as fake outrage and sarcasm.
I'm pretty sure people do this with contentious names or topics to avoid the people who are using it as a search term to engage in less than savory ways. People that follow them know what they mean, but people purely looking for people to get angry at don't see it in search.
this is actually genius but also way more complicated than I thought it was
