Speaking of mabla: I often look at it as being on roughly the same level
as "goddamn"; and often use it alone.

But jbofi'e often gives me some weird interpretations for mabla lujvo, like
"derogative-form-ish-" X.

Is malpre a workable insult, or am I missing how "mal-" works?

It's not the fact that the person's a person that's bad, it's the fact
that the person is, for example, a fazna bebna.

(I've got a pet peeve about mabla - I often seen "mal" used when I'd
rather see "xla".)
