The hardest part of a vegetable…

9 comments

As a none native speaker I don't get it... Is it some kind of slang word? Like in german you can insult a skinny person by calling them a leek.
- In case you are serious - "vegetable" is a really negative way of calling heavily disabled people.
  
  I was! Thanks a lot
  
  To make sure, the joke didn't make sense until 'part of' was revealed right?
  
  Heavily disabled is a weird way of saying completely immobile and likely braindead.
- i think Demdaru covered the way it's used in this meme but FYI it's also used for comatose patients (see german: "vegetieren")
  
  Yeah but for conscious people, this is a way worse slur than “cr*pple”
