I wanted to be transparent about me coming from a cyrillic country first, and of my usual style of conversation and overall intelligence second, for быдло means 'uncultured' in many slavic languages. That adds context to my replies and let's people choose their strategy around them. I also found the combination of bid and law kinda funny in forming that word.
