The funny thing about nimrod is that Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd Nimrod sarcastically since Nimrod was known as a mighty hunter in the Bible. The reference was lost on the audience, causing them to believe it was an insult to their intelligence. This means that using nimrod as an insult is generally seen as ableist remark, even if you are calling someone incompetent.
Yeah, some do. That does not mean you should use "sociopathic" as a genuine insult because it's a real condition. Elon Musk is autistic, so do you really want to go down that rabbit hole?
