[edit] the complete opposite of honorifics

Should we include in this article the opposite of honorifics that may be euphemistically used in Judaism when dealing with a wicked person, such as "Adolf Hitler, yemach shemo uzichro" ("may his name and memory be blotted out"), et al? Valley2city 00:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

The question is, should we have an article on eveything one might find in a Jewish English newspaper? If the answer is yes which I am leaning towards; then we need such an article which will include YMS'V, Sechik Tamye, Shem Reshoim Yirkov, etc. Itzse 21:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

The only thing is, yemach shemo uzichro, is not an "honorific". Epson291 14:39, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

We might need to create an article on the opposite of honorifics, but it seems that "honorific" has no antonyms. The antonyms for "honor" are dishonor, disgrace, contempt and disrespect. It might be better to let it go. What do others have to say? Itzse 16:44, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I would put it right in this aritcle still, just with a note of what it is for. Epson291 12:55, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

It's fine with me and it's worth a try. Itzse 19:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

"Appellations" might work. --Eliyak T·C 17:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

True, should the whole article be renamed? seperate articles? or just the one section? Epson291 19:47, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

What about הי"ד, "God Will Revenge His/Her Blood", used for murder victims? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.178.109.167 (talk) 19:45, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure be bold and try editing it yourself. Epson291 (talk) 02:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
