There is one constant with assholes: Any term or phrase can be used against someone else. It really doesn't matter what. When someone has an agenda to degrade another group of people, anything can be used as a weapon. The specifics have no meaning.

As far as your concern about this being used against someone else, sure. The most likely scenario is that this is picked up by some kind of partisan taking head and rebroadcast on a grander scale.

Idk... "term or phrase" works at least as well as well imo.
