insult

Insults often use swear words; rude references to the victim's mother; derogatory comments about his or her sex life, habits, intellect, job, or attitude; or suggestions that he or she perform disgusting sexual acts.

In the diaper industry, "insult" is the euphemism for the release of liquid (i.e., urine, or a runny bowel movement) that the diaper must absorb.

With the continuing growth in the market for adult incontinence products, the amount of body fluid to insult the diaper and the number of insults a diaper is required to withstand have created more stringent performance criteria for wicking agents for cover stock.

A typical insult arrives at a rate of seven millilitres a second, and might total seventy millilitres of fluid. The liner can clear that insult in less than twenty seconds. The core can hold three or more of those insults, with a chance of leakage in the single digits.
