Someone cut me off while driving yesterday and I yelled "cocksucker." Then I realized that is no longer a slur I can use.

I was not implying the driver is gay, nor that there is anything wrong with being gay, it's just a slur people in my age range (57) grew up using.

So what slurs do younger, more enlightened drivers use when they get angry in traffic?

I may just switch to the classic Mother Effer.
 
I use some awful and strange ones, all of which I cannot post. Just string together the worst words you can thing of. Be creative, express your individuality.
 
How about "mother****er"?

When I was in college, I knew a guy from Pakistan who taught me how to curse in Urdu. They take their curse words more seriously than we do. Call someone a "Maderchot," and you aren't just calling them a "Mother****er". ... you are challenging the person to a fight to the death. That and "Bhanchot" (sister ****er) were my favorite ones. But I had a dozen good ones. When I was younger, occasionally I'd get into a cab and if I saw a Pakistani name under the photo of the driver, I'd try out my curse words. Thankfully, it always ended with the cabbie laughing his ass off.
 
Cocksucker and son of a ***** were my grandpa's favorites, so in his honor I'll nominate SOB.
 
It's not a dirty word or a slur, but my use of "schlub" has skyrocketed in the past few years, for bad drivers and many others.

The topic also made me think of this old Mike Royko column on ethnic slurs. It's humor, but you've got to wonder if it would run in today's era of political correctness (or even if anyone would hire Royko, for that matter):

Yes, Slur, That`s Norwegian Now

Cocksucker is definitely out of vogue these days. I prefer cockholster.
 
Cockgobbler is the preferred nomenclature.

Twatwaffle is also acceptable.
 
Then there's the whole bestiality series, like:

goat****er

etc.

I need to drink more tonight after my commute to really contribute to this thread.
 
I've been known to drop the word that's banned at SJ.

For most occasions, I just go to the old standby, "****ing idiot/moron.

If my kids are in the car, I usually can censor myself with "A-Hole."
 
I just had one of these moments of near road rage, and had forgotten how quickly my brain runs to "you stupid ****!"

It sounds like you don't want a slur. You are seeking an expletive that is not a slur.
Seems like it, anyway.

I use 'jackass.'

I've found that "moron," which many would consider a mild word, tends to placate my rage, at least for a few minutes. Of course, I usually have to put "****ing" in front of it.
 
He sees nothing wrong with keeping the old slur.
