You can't specifically name the jerk or you are called on the carpet and told that we have to play nice and calling John Doe jerk is not allowed. HOWEVER you can label "some" or "those" jerks all day long and its hunky dorry..
It isn't jerk then that is forbidden. It is naming the specific jerk that is not allowed..
A forest can be labeled jerk but you don't dare name individual trees as jerks. Makes complete sense. Right?.
