Is someone keeping a list of words we can't use here? If so, we need to add the word "dufflebag". It doesn't matter if the person really is dishelved or disorderly (like the military term says), the word is now "bad". If someone called me a dufflebag, I'd take it as a light, joking, insult- the person wanted to call me a name, but not something offensive. That's the kind of name that you should laugh at, not something you should give a warning about. Jeff, I would say that you're being a ____ and a ____, but I don't know which word may be next to cause me to get a warning. How about if I just say that you're overreacting. (And for those you playing at home, the next word to cause people to get a warning is "overreacting".)
