        I’ve always had a soft spot for the word rizz. Not just is it a shortening of charisma, so more sensible than other zoomer words, but I grew up playing D&D, where wisdom is frequently shortened to Wis, and Cha is bad to say and doesn’t rhyme.

      The root means “slow”, BTW, so it does get to join that list.

        I’m no expert at this, but it seems to be the suffix here is ‘tard’ not ‘ard’, coming from Latin.

        The root already has tard in it, from Latin retardare. It also has the word tard in it, French for late. Retard also means late in French.

        Does anyone here know? This post also had me wondering about retard.

    Un animal de bât is indeed a pack saddle animal, and bâtard is indeed a bastard so that’s pretty cool. Never realised the connection! -ard in French is also often a negative suffix, like connard which would be a… “cuntard” if you will.
    -asse is the feminine variant, although there are inconsistencies, such as pétard / pétasse which are probably related but one is a firecracker, while the other is a tart (the lady kind)

    Rude language is always so much fun!

    I’ve heard that the term “son of a gun” has a similar origin.

    See, when a sailing vessel would visit port all the whores would row out to meet it. They’d be hauled into the gun ports and… ply their wares.

    Since they didn’t know who in the gun crew was the father, their boys were “sons of a gun”
