This is not America and neither is Boris.
It depends on the word used. But well done - you knew what it meant, others may not, that's the issue. I have never come across that word. I shouldn't have to look it up to work it out, that's the issue and why we call people by their names.
I was repeatedly berated in 2017 for referring to Labour as "IRAbour", after many complaints and internal discussions, I agreed to refer to groups or individuals, using their proper names. If I can do it, so can others.
