An insult and a slur are extremely different things.

[Kylekramer → dekhn]

Feels like this is an entirely unrelated topic, but they aren't extremely different:

1a : an insulting or disparaging remark or innuendo

And to the point, in NYC media circles, it is nearly the equivalent of an actual slur which is why I called it that. Just one writers want to use as opposed to one they think it is inappropriate to use.

[jaywalk → Kylekramer]

Who, exactly, is it supposed to be "nearly" an actual slur against?

Because I'm sure that actual landlords don't have a problem being referred to as landlords, so you must be referring to some other group.
