The point is that you should call her names that are specific to her rather than names that apply broadly and are offensive to people who have nothing to do with her. e.g. flippantly saying "meh she's old, dried up and irrelevant" might seem justified when it's applied to her, but by saying that if someone is over a certain age they're "dried up and irrelevant", that's inevitably insulting to other older people. It's using a benign trait as an insult.

Other examples; "Pfft he's just a disgusting fat bastard what does he know I bet he stinks of old cheese in his flabby folds" - offensive to overweight people who have done nothing wrong.

"LOL look at that bitch talking about other people when she has giant moles all over her face" - offensive to anyone who has moles on their face.

etc.
