Since “Birfer” is most certainly a pejorative - “having a disparaging, derogatory, or belittling effect” - it’s interesting that the after-birthers (and particularly Fogblowers) would choose to use the pronunciation of the word most typically associated with belittling and disparaging the predominantly black, ghetto, dialect (Ebonics).

They are very comfortable in their racism.
