    Because, some of us like designing things that have some basis in
reality - granted, furries do not have that big of a basis in - with biology
being as odd as it is for furry critters.
    On the other have, if you're writing a book or story, and you need some
curses or the like, it helps to know these things, just as it helps to know,
when creating a world, where the money is to determine who -really- has the
power.

Exactly.

For example, one common insult towards females wouldn't work on one kind of
furry.
Namely calling a female canine a "bitch."

In "Extinctioners," one furry character called the other a "tail-lifter."

So how would a canine and feline furry argue?

"Toilet bowl drinker!" "Litter box reject!"

And so on....
