Re: Epithets and Curses
An epithet is a term given to name calling. When you call someone a (pardon my English) "Dick," that's an epithet. The word "dick" is a scientific term applied to whales. But when it's used in a derogatory sense, it becomes an epithet. Same with other name calls such as, "(female dog)," "jerk," mother*&#@%$," "!##hole," etc. All actually mean something else, but the way we use it indicates an insult. At least this is how my dictionary explains it.

"Epithet" more-or-less means "name", doesn't it?
