Derogatory nicknames offensive and bigoted

Recently I was walking downtown and I witnessed two guys greeting each other with "Hey, faggot." Although this may be difficult to imagine, other students may find this offensive. Therefore, I offer the suggestion of greeting each other with "Hey, bigot" from now on. It seems more accurate and is less offensive to the general public. It also has the benefit of being considered a derogatory word, so don't worry, it might still be considered cool.
