Its not an insult. Its a description. Brown shirts do not consider themselves to be evil.

"At least we could come up with some original insults? Back in the seventies it occurred to me that bad language had become common language. The people at work called each other slut, bitch etc and giggled. Every comment contained a feck this or feck'n that. It didn't seem right to me that perfectly good insults had become cute, even endearing among pals. So, I thought it would be clever of me to come up with a whole new set of insulting terms and try them out on my friends just to make that point. I sat down and made a list of ten to take with me to the local drinking hole on friday afternoon where my colleagues gathered. I don't remember all of them but I remember nobody laughed. When I got to the third one which was 'neurotic housewify wench,' the usually rowdy bar went silent ... I hadn't really thought that part through very well and I don't know why I thought it would be fun. I tried calling it an experiment, that usually gets me out of trouble but it didn't help. btw why do I have to put an apostrophe in don't and not in wont. That just doesn't seem right t'me.
