"But calling someone a meathead could be a way that we establish, 
affirm and strengthen bonds of friendship and intimacy, Professor 
Westacott writes in an essay that is sprinkled with phrases like meta-
conventions and references to Wittgenstein and Heraclitus, and that 
comes with a diagram on Classifying and Appraising Rudeness. In 
addition, he writes, teasing is one important way in which 
asymmetries and pecking orders are established, sustained and 
challenged."

DISPLAYING ABSTRACT - Sometimes, it's perfectly all right to be rude. 
So says Emrys Westacott, a professor at Alfred University in Alfred, 
N.Y., in an article published in the fall in The Journal of Applied 
Philosophy. In fact, he says, sometimes rudeness can even be a good 
thing.
